  • Patent number: 12162075
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a door hinge, which can improve productivity by applying both metal injection molding and additive manufacturing is disclosed. The method includes: preparing a first mixture of a first metal powder and a first binder, and a second mixture of a second metal powder and a second binder; molding the first mixture into a first body including a first connection member having a first pinhole; molding the first mixture into a second body including a second connection member having a second pinhole to communicate with the first pinhole; arranging the first body and the second body to align the first pinhole and the second pinhole along an axis to form a cavity; forming a pin member with the second mixture in the cavity by adding up droplets of the second mixture in the cavity; and sintering the first body, the second body, and the pin member.

  • Patent number: 11919073
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for manufacturing iron-based mixed powder with excellent flowability is provided. The apparatus includes a hopper which stores and discharges a main raw material of iron-based powder, a transport means which transports the main raw material of iron-based powder discharged from the hopper, a magnetizing means that applies magnetic force to the main raw material transported and falling from the transport means to process the main raw material of iron-based powder into a main raw material bundle in a crumbly type in which the main raw material of iron-based powder is agglomerated with each other, a first mixer in which the main raw material bundle in a magnetized state and an auxiliary raw material of iron-based powder are loaded and mixed while being rotated and transported, and a second mixer in which a first iron-based mixed powder is mixed while being rotated and transported.
