General Info

Advanced Metalworking was established in 1984 as an Indiana corporation by Dr. Kishor M. Kulkarni. Initial programs covered metalworking technologies such as full-density sintering of high-speed steels, near net-shape processing of beryllium, thermal spraying, superplastic forming of titanium alloys and metal injection molding (MIM). A relatively new technology, MIM has attracted considerable worldwide interest as it allows making small, complex P/M parts in large quantities by injection molding - a process common for plastics. Examples of current applications of MIM parts are for surgical instruments, orthodontic devices, hardware, firearms and automobiles.
