Tooling Do’s and Don’ts in Powder Metallurgy Design Considerations

Considering the detail-oriented nature of this process, how likely is it that such a premium quality fabrication technique could be maintained if the Powder Metallurgy tools used here didn’t have equally outstanding build qualities? Like a supercomputer that was inputting rubbish and kicking out more rubbish, second-rate PM tools could only ever manufacture second-rate sintered […]

Advantages of Vacuum Sintering

Vacuum sintering adds atmosphere-less processing to a powder metallurgy equipment line. Basically, there’s a pump to remove air from the sintering chamber. Outgassing binders are next. They’re removed from the compacted Green part before the powdered material is exposed to coalescing heat. Free of process chemicals and oxidizing gasses, the operation acquires a super-clean particle […]
