For cutting edges, levers, pins and complex small structures, Tongcheng provides stainless steel powder that takes into account hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance and surface quality.
Engineering focus: Stainless steel powder for nail clippers
Review the material, particle-size, process and validation factors that matter for this application.
Priority can be given to evaluating 440C and the corresponding heat treatment route.
Compare 17-4PH with project-specific alloys.
The look and feel needs to be considered holistically from powder to post-processing.
Material requirements for different parts
The cutting edge focuses on hardness and wear resistance, the lever focuses on strength and toughness, and the pin and matching structure focus on dimensional accuracy and corrosion resistance. 440C, 17-4PH or customized materials can be selected according to the part function.
MIM process suitable for complex small parts
Metal injection molding can create curved surfaces, holes, thin walls and reinforced structures in one go, making it suitable for nail clippers, manicure tools and precision personal care hardware.
From powder to surface treatment
Tongcheng can provide material and process suggestions around powder particle size, filling, sintering deformation, heat treatment, grinding and polishing and assembly dimensions.
Part requirements to evaluate first
- Nail clippers, manicure tools and personal care precision hardware
- Parts requiring complex shapes, volume manufacturing and surface treatments
Also consider these manufacturing conditions
- Part location, target hardness, toughness and service life
- Mold, heat treatment, polishing, plating or passivation requirements
