Powder metallurgy (PM) involves the production of various metal parts through the use of powdered metals. Powder metallurgy parts are usually made of metals such as iron, copper, nickel or stainless steel.
Here are some characteristics that can help customers identify powder metallurgy parts:
1.Porosity: Powder metallurgy parts are characterized by porous and rough surfaces due to the presence of tiny voids in the material.
2.Density: PM parts have the density limited like: highest 7.4g/cm³ which have the different with the casting, forging & steel materials parts.
3.Uniformity: The composition and properties of powder metallurgy parts are uniform, which makes them ideal for applications that require consistency and accuracy.
4.Complex shapes: Powder metallurgy parts can be formed into complex geometries that are difficult to achieve using traditional manufacturing processes.
5.Increased strength: Powder metallurgy parts are densified through a process called sintering, which increases their strength and durability, if have further requests, high quenching process also can get further improvement.
6.Lubrication: Powder metallurgy parts can be impregnated with lubricant to make them self-lubricating, suitable for applications such as bearings and gears.
7. Cost-effective: Compared with other manufacturing methods, powder metallurgy provides a cost-effective method for producing large quantities of complex parts.
