According to BCC research, the powder metallurgy market (including metal powders and sintered parts) exceeded $25 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $34 billion in 2027. Why do engineers favor powder metallurgy (PM) so much? I’d say it’s due to its ability to
Manufacturers carefully consider the pros and cons when selecting a process to produce their products. Their goal is to achieve high quality while keeping costs low. Why does the powder metallurgy (PM) stand out? In this blog, I’ll tell you the advantages and disadvantages of
We all know that sintered parts require high precision, which naturally sets demanding standards for powder metallurgy die. Some die achieve dimensional accuracy of up to 5 micrometers. To produce these high-precision parts, powder metallurgy die design is a top priority. Mold design is a
There is a wide range of metal powder production methods. Have you heard atomization? Atomization in powder metallurgy is a process that turns molten metal into powder using an atomization medium, such as gas or water. Here is a detailed explanation of different types of
Impregnation is a wonderful secondary process to fill the pores of powder metallurgy (PM) parts. There is another process to do it—Infiltration. Infiltration in powder metallurgy introduces molten metal through capillary action, filling the pores and solidifying to form a denser, more cohesive part. Since
Powder metallurgy parts are made by pressing metal powder, but the green strength is as weak as chalk. So, how do you improve the strength? The sintering process in powder metallurgy (PM) significantly boosts the strength, density, and structural integrity of the parts. Sintering heats
Powder metallurgy (PM) parts are known for their high precision and fast production. However, sintered parts contain many pores, which may lead to internal corrosion and reduced mechanical strength. This is where impregnation process comes in handy. In this blog, we will take a deep
Sintering is a great way to boosts parts strength. However, it is not perfect. You may require addition features through secondary operations in powder metallurgy (PM). Importance of Secondary Operations in PM Secondary processing helps products increase wear resistance, prevent corrosion, control component size, and
Sizing is one of secondary operations in powder metallurgy. It re-presses the sintered parts to achieve higher accuracy. Why do that? This is because during sintering process, the product undergoes size changes due to thermal expansion and contraction. Another reason is that the parts require
