The importance of powder metallurgy parts for automobiles

The automobile industry is the largest and fastest growing market for powder metallurgy products. The automobile industry is the industry with the largest application of powder metallurgy in the world. Many components such as engines, chassis, shock absorbers, power transmission devices, steering devices and electrical devices are manufactured by powder metallurgy. At present, about 70% of the world's steel powder is finally used in the automobile industry. However, China's powder metallurgy auto parts started late, and the proportion is still less than 50%, with huge potential.

Now the automobile industry is developing rapidly and becoming more and more popular, and the weight reduction, waste emission reduction, fuel reduction, life extension and use function of the automobile are also greatly improved, all of which are inseparable from powder metallurgy technology. Let me tell you, the average powder metallurgy cost per car is 5kg now, and the application of powder metallurgy in cars has a great advantage. In order to improve the heat resistance of cars, most of the engines in cars now use powder metallurgy valve seats containing lead and copper. The valve seat uses copper's thermal conductivity, which is 2.5 times higher than before, and its temperature can be reduced by about 70 degrees. In addition, a titanium alloy powder metallurgy technology is also used in the automobile, which reduces the weight of the automobile and extends its service life. The titanium alloy has low cost and low price, and its performance and precision also meet the requirements of the automobile.
