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 […]
Prepare for a battle. The headliners at the event enter. Conventional metal fabrication techniques come out first, and powder metallurgy technology is close behind. Okay, this is a colourful metaphor, but it accurately reflects the contest we’re attempting to illustrate. Specifically, several advantages come quickly to mind when powder metallurgy is put up against those […]
As we’ve said time and again, the sintered bearings sector represents an important part of the powdered metal fabrication industry. After all, this is an engineering principle that produces self-lubricating bearings. Imbued with that beneficial feature, a bearing functions without a separate oil feed mechanism. None the less, this technology doesn’t limit itself to this […]
Regarding diffuse materials, just how does a powdery metal become a solid bearing? Imagine the mechanical strain as the rolling elements race along the bearing rings. A frictional ingredient is next, but the self-lubricating principle behind this device takes care of this thermal stress. As for the mechanical load, well, the compacted metal powder requires […]
There’s no great mystery behind self-lubricating bearings, no magic greasing the sintered parts. It’s all science, a form of engineering that employs lubricant transference tech. Try Picturing the principle as a transfer-driven process. At the beginning, that oily liquid is contained in the sintered bearing material. Just how does the oily stuff reach that required […]
