1- Mixing :- Metal powders the basic raw material in manufacturing sintered parts, mixed together according to composition of desired final products. 2- Compaction :- Application of high pressures to the powder to form them into the required shape. 3- Sintering : - Heating of compacted material at a temperature below the melting point to cause solid state bounding of particles and strengthening of parts. The result of these basic operation is a metallic part with a certain micro-porosity, high dimensional precision, and perfectly functional when the obtained characteristics meet the component specifications. |
