Sintered bronze bearings perform an essential role in many applications. The friction dissolving components self-lubricate, they require little maintenance, and they’re economically priced. Now, we’ve already described the lubricant impregnation process in some detail. Furthermore, we’ve talked about powder metallurgy, the science that makes this partnership possible. Proceeding further on this track, we’re about to […]
In place of superfluous text, we’re digging straight into the indicators that signal a sintering failure. There are different symptoms, signs that crop us with different cues, and it’s our job to clearly identify each one. Where do we start? Well, a deeper look at metal porosity seems logical. After all, that spongy metal structure […]
After hailing the powdered metal manufacturing process as an extraordinarily potent bearing production solution, we’ve decided to return to its roots. In our virtual product centre, we’ll describe the basic process, the techniques that use powder metallurgical science to create some of the finest bearings in the industry. What are we waiting for? Throw on […]
The best bearings really are made from powdered metal. Does that sound like a bold statement? Well, what if we support that audacious declaration with evidence? It’s a deal, we’ll prove that the powdered metal process produces some of the finest rolling elements and races in the industry. Let’s start with that old chestnut, the […]
Powder metallurgy is a topic that most people probably aren’t intimately familiar with. Yet, here at PM Distributors we have come to know how important it is firsthand. Today’s discussion is going to be a more general topic as to how powdered metals are actually made. We’ll eventually dip a little bit into the benefits […]
