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.
Sintering in Powder Metallurgy | Green Compact | Diffusing
What is sintering in powder metallurgy process?
The operation of heating the green compact at high temperature in a controlled atmosphere (Reducing atmosphere which protects oxidation of metal powders). The Sintering increases the bond between the particles and therefore strengthens a powder metal compact. Sintering temperature and time of sintering depends on the type of powders and the strength required in a final product. The Sintering temperatures usually 0.6 to 0.8 times the melting point of powders.
