Advantages of Powder Metallurgy Process

Advantages of powder metallurgy process

1. Special materials can be processed. The method of material powder metallurgy can manufacture refractory metals as well as compounds, pseudo-alloys, and porous materials.

2. Save metal and reduce costs. Because powder metallurgy can be pressed to final size green compacts, no mechanical processing is required. The loss of metal produced by this method is only 1-5%, while the general processing will consume 80% of the metal.

3. Preparation of high-purity materials. The powder metallurgy process does not melt the material during the material production process, so it will not mix impurities brought by other substances, and the sintering is carried out in a vacuum and reducing atmosphere, which is not afraid of oxidation and will not pollute the material. Therefore, the product purity is relatively high.

4. Correctness of material distribution. The powder metallurgy method can ensure the correctness and uniformity of the material composition in the proportioning.

5. Mass production reduces costs. Powder metallurgy is suitable for the production of products with a large number of uniform shapes, such as gears and other high-cost products, which can greatly reduce production costs.
