Sintered Oil-Impregnated Bearings

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Considering the detail-oriented nature of this process, how likely is it that such a premium quality fabrication technique could be maintained if the Powder Metallurgy tools used here didn’t have equally outstanding build qualities? Like a supercomputer that was inputting rubbish and kicking out more rubbish, second-rate PM tools could only ever manufacture second-rate sintered […]

Vacuum sintering adds atmosphere-less processing to a powder metallurgy equipment line. Basically, there’s a pump to remove air from the sintering chamber. Outgassing binders are next. They’re removed from the compacted Green part before the powdered material is exposed to coalescing heat. Free of process chemicals and oxidizing gasses, the operation acquires a super-clean particle […]

Powder Metallurgy produced parts continue to find their way into countless machine types. In fact, if a new machine comes to market, there’s a good chance it’ll use a few sintered parts. Because the PM production process utilizes a density controllable metal forming technique, all sorts of applications become feasible when sintered components apply their […]
