Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method of manufacturing an airbag initiator. Currently, an airbag initiator is comprised of three parts made out of two dissimilar materials plus a glass to metal seal. The present method builds the same airbag initiator with the body and the pins in one piece via a process called metal injection molding. The part is then placed in a furnace to remove a wax binder, then the temperature is ramped up slowly to remove a thermoplastic layer, and the temperature is further ramped up to form a sintered part. The sintered part being equal to or better than standards of wrought material. The initiator is then removed from the furnace and a glass bead is placed in a void area in the body of the initiator. The glass is melted forming a glass to metal seal between a first pin and the body of the initiator. A top portion of the initiator is then lapped off isolating the first pin from the body of the initiator.
