powder metallurgy

Powder metallurgy is an advanced manufacturing process for producing metal parts using metal powders through pressing and sintering processes to create various shapes and sizes of metal parts. The process typically involves mixing and preparing the powders, pressing them into green bodies of desired shapes, followed by sintering, where the green bodies are solidified into dense metal parts through high-temperature treatment. Powder metallurgy offers several advantages, including the ability to produce complex shapes and thin-walled structures, high material utilization reducing waste generation, and the production of high-strength, wear-resistant parts. Therefore, powder metallurgy finds wide applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.
