Sintering

Sintering, also known as powder metallurgy, is a process used to produce metal components from powdered metal particles. The metal powder is placed inside a closed die, which is then compacted under high pressure to form the desired shape. The compacted powder is then heated in a controlled atmosphere to fuse the particles together, resulting in a solid metal component with precise dimensions and good mechanical properties. Sintering is commonly used for manufacturing parts with complex shapes and high accuracy.

• Complex Geometry: Sintering allows for intricate component designs that might be challenging using traditional methods.
• Reduced Machining: Components often require minimal post-sintering machining due to their close-to-final shape.
• Cost Efficiency: Sintering uses powdered materials, reducing material waste and making it a cost-effective method.
• Enhanced Material Properties: Sintering improves material strength, hardness, and other properties by compacting and bonding particles.
