What are powder metallurgy structural parts?
Powder metallurgy structural part is a kind of structural part material, which is made of metal powder by special processing technology. Compared with ordinary parts, powder metallurgy structural parts have the following advantages:
powder metallurgy
1. The surface finish of powder metallurgy structural parts is very high.
2. There are many variables in all aspects of the processing of powder metallurgy structural parts, which is difficult to maintain consistency. Powder metallurgy can remedy this defect.
3. Another remarkable feature of powder metallurgy process is that it can integrate multiple parts into manufacturing, so it can greatly save assembly costs.
4. Because the material density of powder metallurgy structural parts is controllable and immersed in a certain proportion of lubricating oil, the parts themselves are self-lubricating, greatly improving the wear resistance of products.
5. Powder metallurgy shows its outstanding advantages in manufacturing irregular parts, because it is a powder, which is easier to manufacture. With only a small amount of cutting, the utilization rate of raw materials can reach more than 99%, which is very economical and applicable.
The same P/M structures and mechanical parts can be plated, heat treated and other subsequent treatments on the surface of the parts, so P/M structures have been widely used in various machined parts.
