Title: Jan Deconinck: Innovator in Metal Injection Moulding
Introduction
Jan Deconinck is a notable inventor based in Etterbeek, Belgium. He has made significant contributions to the field of metal injection moulding, particularly in the development of innovative solutions for sawing beads.
Latest Patents
Jan Deconinck holds a patent for a "Sleeve for a sawing bead obtained by metal injection moulding." This invention focuses on metal sleeves that serve as carriers for the abrasive layer of sawing beads. These sawing beads are threaded onto a steel cord and separated by a polymer, forming a sawing cord used for cutting hard and brittle materials such as stone or concrete. The metal sleeves play a crucial role in the overall performance and cost-effectiveness of the sawing cord. His proposed method of metal injection moulding allows for the production of these sleeves in large quantities with optimized geometry, which is not achievable with current manufacturing methods. Additionally, the inventive sleeves are particularly suitable for the application of the abrasive layer through laser cladding.
