Powder Metallurgy

Powder metallurgy is an ancient metalworking process dating back to 3000 BC that involves compressing and heating metal powders to form components. It allows the manufacturing of complex parts from pure metals, alloys, and metal/non-metal mixtures for uses such as gears, cams, bushings, and more. The key steps are powder production, blending, compaction, sintering, and finishing.

POWDER METALLURGY

INTRODUCTION Earliest use of iron powder dates back to 3000 BC. Egyptians used it for making tools Modern era of P/M began when W lamp filaments were developed by Edison Components can be made from pure metals, alloys, or mixture of metallic and non-metallic powders Commonly used materials are iron, copper, aluminium, nickel, titanium, brass, bronze, steels and refractory metals Used widely for manufacturing gears, cams, bushings, cutting tools, piston rings, connecting rods, impellers etc.
