In which fields is powder metallurgy applied

       

Powder metallurgy is a technology to
produce metal powder or use metal powder (or mixture of metal powder and
non-metal powder) as raw material, through forming and sintering, to
manufacture metal materials, composite materials and various types of products.
Powder metallurgy is similar to ceramic production, both belong to powder
sintering technology. Therefore, a series of new powder metallurgy technologies
can also be used in the preparation of ceramic materials. Due to the advantages
of powder metallurgy technology, it has become the key to solve the problem of
new materials and plays an important role in the development of new materials.

Powder metallurgy includes powder making
and products. Among them, milling is mainly a metallurgical process, which
coincides with the literal. Powder metallurgy products are often far beyond the
scope of materials and metallurgy, often interdisciplinary (materials and
metallurgy, machinery and mechanics, etc.) technology. In particular, modern
metal powder 3D printing integrates mechanical engineering, CAD, reverse
engineering technology, layered manufacturing technology, numerical control
technology, material science and laser technology, which makes powder
metallurgy product technology become a modern comprehensive technology across
more disciplines.

 

application area

Powder metallurgy related enterprises are
mainly applied to the production and research of spare parts in the automobile
industry, equipment manufacturing industry, metal industry, aerospace, military
industry, instruments, hardware tools, electronic appliances and other fields,
as well as the production of related raw materials and auxiliary materials, and
the manufacturing of various powder preparation equipment and sintering
equipment. Products include bearings, gears, carbide tools, molds, friction
products and so on. In military enterprises, heavy weapons and equipment such
as armor piercing projectiles, torpedoes, aircraft tanks and other brake pairs
need to be produced by powder metallurgy technology. In recent years, powder
metallurgy automobile parts have become the largest market in China's powder
metallurgy industry, and about 50% of automobile parts are powder metallurgy
parts.
