Powder metallurgy is the procedure of blending fine powder, pressing them into the desired component form known as compacting, and then heating the component in a controlled temperature atmosphere to bond known as sintering. Powder metallurgy is the continually and evolving technology which embraces most metallic, non-ferrous and alloy materials. Powder Metallurgy is suitable for high-volume production with minimal wastage of material therefore also known as the “Green” technology.
The Powder Metallurgy is advantageous as it is cost effective, provides flexibility in shapes, versatility used and uniformity in the parts or components manufactured with this process. Powder metallurgy aids in the high precision forming and generates components with near-net shape, complex features and good dimensional precision pieces. In the process of powder metallurgy metal powder is compacted in die through application of high pressure. The tools are held in the vertical position with punch tool forming the bottom cavity. The powder is compacted and then ejected from the die cavity. Removal of compact from the upper side of the die using a filling shoe in the fill stage of the next cycle, or an automation unit or robot system.
Mechanical or hydraulic presses are used for the compaction process for the Power Metallurgy component making and INCREDIBLE MACHINES provides both. Also the automated filling and weighing unit and the robotic system can be provided for various components making as per the customers’ needs.
