Historically speaking, powdered metals are recognized as moderately strong materials. They form relatively hard bearings and other self-lubricating items. By heat treating sintered metal parts, they become even tougher. In point of fact, the sintering process uses thermal energy and pressure, so some heat treated hardenability is applied during the production phase. Okay, this strength-conversion […]
Shaft runout is described as a centreline deviation issue. To illustrate this drive transmission glitch, imagine the rod of a drive shaft. It moves around its axis, always. Should the drive rod’s centre of radial motion stray, it’ll develop runout. This drift movement is clearly undesirable. Nonetheless, runout problems and misalignment errors can occur in […]
Based on powder metallurgy technology, sintered bronze bearings deliver a very familiar feature. That opening sentence is, of course, referring to the material’s porous build. Friction counteracting lubricants are stored inside the metal’s tiny chambers. Okay, so this general property gets mentioned in every article, because that’s what the bearings do best, but there’s more […]
Let’s match two manufacturing giants, toe-to-toe and kilo for kilo. On one side, there’s the machining industry. It’s not going anywhere, but there are certainly times when this sector could benefit from a few process-oriented refinements. As for the competitor, this is a heavyweight. Sintering technology is, by its very nature, a refined and economical […]
Processing plants use catalysts to trigger active chemical reactions. The material makeup of this substance makes it possible for previously unsustainable compound alterations to take place. Alternatively, catalysts accelerate existing chemical reactions. Once upon a time, as all stories begin, solid metals were used to facilitate such processes. They transformed compounds, acted as oxidisers, and […]
