Powder metallurgy in industry - areas of application, potential & solutions
Powder metallurgy describes an innovative manufacturing process in which metal powder is transformed into solid and extremely robust components by pressing and subsequent sintering. This technology opens up new possibilities for industry, as it allows components with complex geometries and exact specifications to be produced that are difficult or impossible to realise using conventional methods. The use of metals [...]
Grain size of metal powders - properties, applications and advantages for your production
Why the right grain size is crucial Choosing the right grain size for metal powders is an often underestimated but decisive factor for the quality and efficiency of industrial production processes. Among other things, the grain size influences the flow behaviour, sinterability, density and reactivity of the powder - and therefore also the properties of the end product. If you make the wrong choice here, you risk production errors, [...]
