Sintering in the Powder Metallurgy Process
Sintering is a heat treatment applied to a powder compact in order to impart strength and integrity. The temperature used for sintering is below the melting point of the major constituent of the Powder Metallurgy material. After compaction, neighbouring powder particles are held together by cold welds, which give the compact sufficient “green ...

Properties of Powder Metallurgy Materials
Ferrous Powder Metallurgy materials, processed by the standard die press and sinter route, can deliver UTS levels up to around 900 N/mm ² in the as-sintered condition or up to around 1200 N/mm ² after heat treatment or sinter hardening. These pressed and sintered materials can also deliver tensile yield stress levels up to around 480 N/mm2 as ...
