Factors to Consider When Making a Prototype of Powdered Metal or Sintered Metal Parts
The powder metallurgy process entails the production of parts and components out of metal powders. One main reason why this process is being utilised by many industries is that it reduces or even avoids the use of metal removal processes. There are three major processing steps that are often carried out by powder metallurgy. The […]
Everything You Need to Know About Powdered Metal Structural Parts
Manufacturers can get their metal products out of various sources. One of these sources is metal powders. And to convert metal powders into useful metal parts and products, they often undergo powder metallurgy processes as they can effectively reduce yield losses in manufacture. Powder metallurgy processes can also make sure that the manufacturing costs will […]
How to Gauge the Quality and Characteristics of Metal Powders
When it comes to powder metallurgy, the perceived quality and characteristics of metal powders can all affect the outcome of the products. And so, to obtain greater product results, businesses would normally want to have their metal powders tested. These tests allow them to determine both the physical and mechanical properties of the metal powders […]
What You Should Know About PV Rating of Bearings
Bearings have been very useful for many pieces of equipment and devices. For one, bearings help them reduce friction whenever their parts or components rotate. Additionally, they are intended to protect the part that supports the rotation. Even the positioning of the rotating shaft is maintained through bearings. With these hardware devices, industries are guaranteed […]
Understanding Sintered Cylindrical Roller Bearings
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 […]
Why is Bronze a Good Material to Use for Sintering?
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, […]
What are the Secondary Operations in Powder Metallurgy?
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 […]
Principles of Sintering and Sinter Hardening
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 […]
An Overview about Sintered Components’ Basic Manufacturing Process
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 […]
Understanding the Difference between Cast Bronze Bushings and Oil Impregnated Bronze Bushings
One type of bearing that is used by a wide variety of industries today is known as a bushing. Bushings are maximised to reduce friction and wear between two surfaces that slide against each other. They are found inside a given hole and often used as a casing for a shaft, pin, or hinge. Machines […]
