Metal processing technology in which parts are produced from metallic powders powders. .
ADVANTAGES of POWDER METALLURGY PROCESS. 1)A combination of metals and non metals powdered parts can be manufactured. 2)High Dimensional accuracy is achieved. 3)Fine Surface finish is achieved. 4)No material is wasted as scrap. This process makes use of 100% raw material unlike casting, press forming etc. 5)Porous parts can be produced which is not possible by any other method. 6)Highly qualified or skilled person is not required for handling powder metallurgy method. 7)Large scale production of small parts with this process gives efficient results. 8)Production of cemented carbide tools is possible only by this process. 9)It eliminates numerous machining operations. 10)Powder metallurgy parts can be easily brazed, welded, soldered. 11)Process is economical as mass production process.
(1)High tooling costs. (2)Expensive raw materials (powders). (3)Relatively long parts are difficult to manufacture. (4)Difficult storing and handling of powders (degradation with time and fire hazard with particular metallic powders). (5)Powder metallurgy is not economical for small scale production. (6)Articles produced by powder metallurgy process possess poor ductility. (7)Difficult to produce high purity powder.
A. Producing metal powders B. Mixing C. Pressing D. Sintering E. Finishing and sizing the final product.
D. SINTERING
1. Sintering is the Heat treatment process, to bond the metallic particles, thereby increasing strength and hardness 2. Sintering consists of heating pressed metal compacts in batch or contin uous furnaces to a temperature below the melting point of material. 3. Most metals are sintered at 70% to 80% of melting temperature.
