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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
