Finishing Operations In Manufacturing
Sizing:
Repressing the sintered component in a die to meet required tolerances.
Coining:
Repressing the sintered component in a die to increase the density and to give additional strength.
Infiltration:
Filling the pores of sintered product with molten metal to improve the physical properties.
Impregnation:
Filling of Oil, Grease or other Lubricants in a Sintered components such as Porous Heating
Machining:
Removing excess material by using cutting tool to imparts specific features such as Threads, Grooves, Undercuts etc, which are not practicable in powder metallurgy process.
Heat Treatment:
Process of Heating & Cooling at a desired rate to improve Grain Structure, Strength & Hardness.
Corrosion Plating:
Used for obtaining Resistance to Corrosion or better appearance.
Powder metallurgy is used in the following industries:
-
Automotive (Brake pads, Gear parts, Connecting rods, Planetary carriers, Sintered Engine Bearings);
-
Aerospace (Light weight Aluminum base structural materials, High temperature Composite materials);
- Cutting tools (Hard metals, Diamond containing materials);
- Medicine (Dental implants, Surgical instruments);
- Abrasives (Grinding and Polishing wheels and Discs);
-
Electrical, Electronic and Computer parts (Permanent magnets, Electrical contacts).
- Aerobic Composting: Benefits, Process, and Best PracticesAerobic composting is a natural process that breaks down organic materials into nutrient-rich soil amendment or mulch through natural decomposition.
- Cold Composting: A Guide to Turning Waste into Nutrient-Rich SoilCold composting is a method of composting that involves allowing organic materials to decompose naturally over time, without the need for high temperatures
- Hot Composting: The Ultimate Guide to Achieving Fast and Effective ResultsHot composting is a method of composting that speeds up the decomposition process of organic waste material. The result is nutrient-rich compost
- Fastest Composting Techniques for Efficient Waste ManagementComposting is a natural process that converts organic materials into a nutrient-rich soil amendment through natural decomposition. It is an essential practice
- From Phillips to Torx: Exploring the World of Screwdriver TypesFrom Phillips to Torx: Exploring the World of Screwdriver Types delves into the history and evolution of screwdrivers, from the earliest hand-cranked models to the modern electric versions. The book also examines the different types of screw heads and the corresponding screwdrivers needed to work with them.
