Understanding Sintered Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Bearings are designed to limit the relative motion of parts to the desired motion. They are also intended to reduce friction as well as any damages that may occur between two or more moving parts. To date, there are various types of bearings available that can fit in specific applications, which are determined by the […]
Why is Bronze a Good Material to Use for Sintering?
Sintering is a heat treatment process that is applied to a compacted part at a temperature lower than the melting point of the base metal. The temperature of the said process allows the particles of the compacted part to be welded to one another through the solid-state diffusion mechanism. The sintering process can impart strength, […]
What are the Secondary Operations in Powder Metallurgy?
One sustainable metal-forming process that is being utilised by industries today is known as powder metallurgy. This specific process is done by heating compacted metal powders below their melting points, which can help avoid and reduce the use of any metal removal or machining processes. Moreover, powder metallurgy can easily cut yield losses without spending […]
Principles of Sintering and Sinter Hardening
Sintering and sinter hardening are processes that can transform metal powder into useful components for different uses and industries. Typically, a press with a die that takes the shape of the final component is used to place and compact metal powder. Once the powder is compacted, it is subsequently subjected and placed under a high-temperature […]
An Overview about Sintered Components’ Basic Manufacturing Process
Several industry sectors maximise the features and properties of sintered components. Components that have undergone the sintering process are known to be more durable and possess excellent mechanical characteristics and complex geometries. They are also cheaper than other products. All these benefits make sintered components to be perfect for product assemblies. Basic Elements of Sintered […]
Understanding the Difference between Cast Bronze Bushings and Oil Impregnated Bronze Bushings
One type of bearing that is used by a wide variety of industries today is known as a bushing. Bushings are maximised to reduce friction and wear between two surfaces that slide against each other. They are found inside a given hole and often used as a casing for a shaft, pin, or hinge. Machines […]
Creating Metal Parts with Powder Metallurgy
A lot of manufacturers and metal fabricators are utilising the capabilities of different fabrication processes and methods in creating metal parts and components. Most of these processes, however, are part and under the category of powder metallurgy that has gained popularity over the years due to its associated capabilities, benefits, and applications. Overview of Powder […]
Differences and Advantages of Powder Metallurgy vs. Die Casting
Manufacturers and other related industries consider numerous factors in choosing the best metal forming process for their metal products or components. They must consider the quality of the product and its associated implications. They also have to ponder on the mechanical properties and the intended applications of the same product. The overall cost or pricing […]
Sintered Aluminium Powder Properties
The properties of alloys that are processed from sintered aluminium power (SAP) are different compared to other materials. The oxide on these alloys’ surface, which forms during sintering, does not reduce back to the materials. As a result, a huge amount of oxide retains on the surface of these alloys, allowing them to produce high […]
Properties and Uses of Zinc Metal Powder
Zinc powder is a pale blue dark hued, unadulterated metal powder. It is delivered when cleansed fumes of zinc are consolidated. A portion of its attributes are steady quality, improved yields and speedy response time. Zinc powder is used for a wide range of purposes in different fields. It’s imperative to get familiar with this […]
