Powder metallurgy products again stand out in the automobile industry

Nov 03, 2022

Powder metallurgy is a manufacturing technology for mechanical structural parts with complex shape, material saving, energy saving and labor saving, which is very suitable for mass production. Therefore, the automobile powder metallurgy structural parts and automobile industry in the United States and Japan are developing at the same time. According to relevant reports, there are more than 1000 kinds of powder metallurgy parts used in automobiles. For example, soft magnetic and hard magnetic components used in car speakers, radios, micro televisions, video recorders, instruments and meters; Electric brush used in automobile starter and generator; Platinum contact (w contact) in the distributor; Anti skid nails installed in automobile tires; Exhaust valve seat of unleaded gasoline engine; Sintered metal oil filter in diesel engine; Friction materials for heavy truck brakes; DU, DX bearings and bimetal bearing shells widely used in automobiles, as well as carbide tools, measuring tools and molds widely used in automobile manufacturing, can only be manufactured with powder metallurgy technology.

It can be seen that without these powder metallurgy products and materials, it is self-evident what the automobile industry would be like today. At the same time, powder metallurgy is an advanced metal forming technology. It is a new and high technology that metal and other powders are processed, pressed, formed, sintered and necessary subsequent processing to make mechanical parts and metal products.

Powder metallurgy products and materials have been widely used due to their advantages of energy saving, material saving, high efficiency and environmental protection, and have great market potential and development prospects. In recent years, the powder metallurgy industry has developed rapidly, especially in the automotive industry, machinery manufacturing, metal industry, aerospace, instrumentation, hardware tools, engineering machinery, electronic appliances and high-tech industries, which has brought rare development opportunities and huge market space for the powder metallurgy industry. At the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements for the technical level of the industry.
