Top Features and Qualities of Sintered Bronze Bearings
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 […]
Different Signs of Sintering Failures
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 […]
Basic Process Involved in Bearing Making Using Powdered Metals
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 are Made from Powdered Metal
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 […]
Basic Information on How Powdered Metals are Made
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 […]
Advantages of Powder Metallurgy over Conventional Metal Fabrication Techniques
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 […]
What is Powdered Metal Fabrication?
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 […]
How Metal Powder Develops Material Strength in Bearings
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 […]
The Principle of Self-Lubricating Bearings
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 […]
Metal Powder for Additive Uses in Manufacturing
Metal powder is created by the act of powder metallurgy. This means that any variety of metal, such as steel or iron, is compressed before being sintered to form a metallurgical bond. From there, the metal powder is used in a variety of different applications around the commercial world. We’re pretty sure you never knew […]
