Conventional powder metal iron-based parts generally have a density of 7.0 g/cm³. How can you improve the density of powder metal parts? There are several methods below: Warm compaction is a cost-effective way to increase the density of sintered parts to 7.4 g/cm³. If you use secondary

Traditional strip production begins with large ingots or thick slabs that go through several stages such as hot rolling, cold rolling, and annealing. This conventional approach requires massive equipment, consumes a lot of energy, and results in high processing costs and metal losses. Powder rolling,

Spray forming, also called spray casting, is a metallurgical process that forms near-net-shape components with low segregation and a uniform microstructure. The process combines the phenomena of atomization, deposition and consolidation. Spray forming can easily utilize the alloys to manufacture components which are difficult to

Hot pressing is a powder metallurgy process that simultaneously applies high temperature (up to 2400°C for ceramic materials) and uniaxial pressure to compact and densify powdered materials. Unlike traditional cold pressing, hot pressing combines pressing and sintering in a single step. What is Hot Pressing?

Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS), also known as Field Assisted Sintering Technology (FAST), is a modern sintering technique. This method has fundamentally changed the way powdered materials are compacted into dense solids. SPS is outstanding for not just the rapid production of dense materials, but also

There is growing interest in using hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technology to manufacture high performance components, primarily due to its ability to produce fully dense, near net shape parts—including large and complex geometries. In contrast, conventional powder metallurgy parts typically have densities below 95%, usually

For some parts with large aspect ratio, complex shapes, uniform density and strength requirements, conventional uniaxial pressing is almost impossible. Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) is a feasible technology. What is Cold Isostatic Pressing? Cold Isostatic Pressing is a powder forming technique where uniform pressure (5,000
