Mechanical properties determine whether a powder metal part will perform reliably under real-world conditions. Strength, wear resistance, impact performance, ductility, and fatigue life are not just numbers on a datasheet. They influence how long a component will last, how much load it can carry, and

In manufacturing, vacuum sintering is a vital process, especially when it comes to powder metallurgy and material science. This method is a high-temperature heat treatment process carried out in a vacuum environment to densify powder metallurgy parts without oxidation or contamination. It is commonly used

Powder injection molding is one of the advanced manufacturing techniques that combines the design flexibility of plastic injection molding and the strength of powder metallurgy process. In this technique, the feedstock is basically prepared by mixing metal powder with a plastic binder. PIM is used

Successful powder metallurgy (PM) part design begins with understanding process limitations and material properties. You should maintain uniform wall thickness, avoid sharp corners, include proper draft angles, and consider tooling performance. Always balance strength, manufacturability, and cost. A well-designed PM part can save time, reduce

Ceramic materials have high hardness, strong wear and corrosion resistance, excellent heat resistance, and good biocompatibility. However, due to their low toughness and brittleness, they are difficult to shape with traditional methods, and later machining is also challenging. Ceramic Injection molding is a new method

Liquid Phase Sintering (LPS) is a sintering process where a liquid phase forms during the sintering of a powder compact, facilitating densification and bonding of solid particles. This process is used to sinter the components with high melting points that are difficult to sinter with

Electrochemical testing is a widely used method for evaluating the corrosion resistance of metals and alloys based on their electrochemical behavior in corrosive environments. It is typically conducted in a controlled electrochemical cell using a standard three-electrode configuration. This technique is particularly useful for assessing

The process of converting raw materials such as ores and alloys into useful metal products is known as a metal manufacturing process. There are multiple metal manufacturing processes, such as casting, forging, powder metallurgy, and CNC machining. These processes fall in the category of bulk

Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) is a magnetic material made by pressing insulating iron powder into a shape and then heat treating it. SMC components are particularly valued for their ability to support innovative designs in motors and inductive solutions compared to traditional laminated technologies. The
