Modern Sintering Technology and Its Effects on Microstructure of Metals
Numerous manufacturing businesses have been utilising sintering technology as a way of fabricating a solid mass of materials and products. Sintering technology involves the process of compacting and forming materials with the help of thermal treatment, which is also crucial for processing ceramic and powder metallurgical. Unlike other processes, this specific technology does not involve […]
A Brief Overview About Sintered Metal Filters and Silencers
Sintered Metal Filters and Silencers have great intrinsic strength, so they can be used with a much wider pressure differential than most other filter materials. The accuracy of the P/M process means you can specify particle extraction from 10 to 50 microns. Powder metal filters can generally be cleaned simply by backwashing or ultrasonic cleaning. […]
An Overview on the Properties and Testing of Metal Powders
The main purpose of powder testing is to ensure that the powder is suitable for subsequent processing. The basic properties or characteristics of powder are chemical composition and purity, particle size and its distribution, particle shape, particle porosity and particle microstructure. The secondary properties or characteristics are specific surface, apparent density, tap density, flow rate, […]
A Quick Review on Powder Injection Moulding
Powder metallurgy is a process where fine powdered materials are pressed into a desired shape or form and then heated or sintered in a controlled atmosphere to form the final product. To date, numerous alternative processes have been deployed under powder metallurgy. One of them is the powder injection moulding process. What is the origin […]
Advantages of Powder Metallurgy Over Die Casting
To date, there are two popular options in creating metallic parts and materials. One of the options is powder metallurgy. It is a metal-forming technology that uses powders as raw materials. These materials are formed into a determined space and dimensions and then sintered at high temperature. The process powder metallurgy can significantly decrease the […]
The Differences Between Sintering and Melting Powdered Metals
If you are into the industry of metal fabrication, you might know some processes behind it. One kind of metal fabrication is powder metallurgy, which is the production of materials or components out of metal powders. Sintering is exclusive to powder metallurgy when it comes to metal fabrication. Melting, on the other hand, is the […]
Common Powder Metallurgy Parts and Their Markets
Different manufacturers have been producing numerous metal parts and components out of powder metallurgy processes. Powder metallurgy is a technique that involves the compression of elemental metallic powder into the desired shape. Consequently, the compressed metallic powder is then heated at a temperature below its melting point. The parts out of powder metallurgy can fall […]
Powder Metallurgy Properties: Important Considerations for Parts Design and Development
Many manufacturing companies have resorted to powder metallurgy (PM) as a way to create products out of metal. The steps behind powder metallurgy involve the mixture of elemental or alloy powders through compacting them in a die. After the compacting process, the new mixture is then sintered or heated at high temperature to further solidify […]
Examples of Metal Materials Used in Sintering
There are a lot of ways of creating metal parts without going through the melting process. One of them is sintering which involves the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by heat or pressure. Manufacturers practice sintering as it can reduce porosity and enhance properties like strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal […]
Sinter Bonding in Powder Metallurgy: What is it All About?
Powder metallurgy has been playing a huge role in the creation of metallic materials and components. It is a form of technology where powder used for creating metallic or even ceramic materials are moulded into specific shapes and dimensions. The whole process of metal creation through powder metallurgy reduces cost, energy, and waste. The formation […]
