Metal powder and powder metallurgy technology
metal powders used for parts production can be a combination of various elemental particles or pre alloy powder if elemental powder issues each of the ingredients that will comprise the desired part are mixed in proper proportion into a uniform blend with pre alloy powder the proper proportion of ingredients is already present in each particle in either case additives such as binders and lubricants are usually at it the powder is then consolidated in molds or dies shaping and been supplying it into what compact.
at the desired part at this point depart or compact is in the green state where the powder particles are just lightly join together in this state the parts have a so-called green strength which is usually only sufficient for handling purposes the part so then transferred to a sintering furnace during sintering part sintered at a temperature below the melting point or range of the base metal but high enough to metallurgical bonds.
the individual particles sintering further densify stock parts increasing strength final part density is extremely important although controlled ferocity is required and achievable for certain parts the performance of structural parts increases directly with increasing density the common methods of consolidating and shaping metal powder for parts production include mechanical pressing injection moulding and isostatic pressing.
most parts are made by mechanical pressing and suturing parts are usually small to moderate in size and can be simple or complex in shape they can be very thin or thick and can also have one or more levels shallow or deep holes and various other details parts produced by mechanical pressing convene net or near net in shape and have very close taller insist park production rates are high from several hundred to thousands of parts per hour.
in mechanical pressing the powder is automatically gravity fed into the died of a mechanical or hydraulic press and consolidated to a specific density pressures of ten to sixty tons per square inch are created by the vertical action of improper punch or by the double action oven upper and lower punch pressing is typically at room temperature although elevated temperatures can also be used core rods are used inside the died to control formation of holes parallel to the direction of pressing if the part being made a stand and uniform in height the powder can be pressed from one side by the upper part when that punch withdraws while lower punch is the part out of the die the parties
then ejected by the wiping action of the powder featured which also wipes powder for the next piece into the dee ejected should from the press can also be accomplished using automated handling equipment the density of pressed powder tends to decrease along part hike as the distance between the comp acting punch and di increases to produce more uniform density thick parts are contacted by a sect of operand lower punches after pressing parts are transferred to the sintering furnace sintering furnaces include preheat high heat centering and cooldown zones each having a controlled atmosphere depending on the base metal of the part.
the atmosphere of the sintering furnace maybe and autmosphere which is composed mainly of hydrogen nitrogen and carbon monoxide x author which is composed of nitrogen mainly dissociated ammonia which is hydrogen and nitrogen entirely hydrogen vacuum or inert gas to ensure proper sintering defeating rate maximum sintering temperature time at the center in temperature cooling rate and furnace atmosphere must be closely controlled.
powder metallurgy is a metalworking technology used primarily for producing parts from metal powder the primary advantage of powder metal parts is design flexibility parts can be produced a net or near net shape and to control porosity or nearly full density most metal powder is produced by physical or mechanical methods added is by high-pressure water or inert gas is the most common physical method mechanical methods include milling and hammer rod grinding or attrition mills metal powder used for parts production can be a combination of various elemental particles or pre-owned lloyd powder the powder is then consolidated in dies or molds shaping intensifying the father came to a compact of the desired park the compact which is in a green st is then singer the common methods of consolidation are mechanical pressing injection moulding and isostatic pressing
in mechanical pressing the powder is automatically gravity fed into the diana press and consolidated by the vertical action of a punch or punches most powder metal parts are produced by mechanical pressing after pressing parts are transferred to a sintering furnace where they are heated to metallurgical bonds the individual particles after sintering parts may require additional processing .
in secondary operations injection molding involves mixing the povirk with the thermoplastic by and granulated to produce the feedstock the feedstock is heated and then injected into a more to produce the desired bar once the part hardens it is d binder rise and then center powder consolidation by isostatic pressing can be performed at room temperature which is called cold isostatic pressing or at an elevated temperature which is known as hot isostatic pressing
