Powder metallurgy process

Post-Sintering Treatments. The sintering process concludes the powder metallurgy processes of production and consoHdation. However, some P/M parts may require a number of further operations.

In a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) variant of conventional powder metallurgy processing, fine chromium powder is obtained by hydrogen reduction of Crl2 and simultaneously combined with fine thorium(IV) oxide [1314-20-17, H1O2, particles. This product is isostaticaHy hot pressed to 70 MPa (700 atm) and 1100°C for 2 h. Compacts are steel clad and hot roUed to sheets (24).

Droplet Formation in Gas Atomization. Experimental and modeling studiesl160 161 169] 318] 319] 321]- 325] have shown that gas atomization of liquid metals in spray forming and powder metallurgy processes may take place in two primary modes, i.e., liquid jet-ligament breakup and liquid film-sheet breakup. 

The powder metallurgy process consists of three basics steps powder formation powder compaction and sintering. Each of the steps in powder metallurgy will be described in more detail. 

Cemented carbides and nitrides are manufactured by a powder metallurgy process using liquid phase sintering (Figure 2.1). The cobalt or nickel binder metal, in the form of fine powder, is blended with the carbide or nitride powders in ball mills or attritor mills lined with carbide sleeves. 

Both classic membrane filters and nucleopore membrane filters are made of organic materials soluble in many nonaqueous solvents. Types of metallic membrane filters are also available, for example, silver metal membrane filters. These filters are made by means of a powder metallurgy process. They are useful for organic microanalysis of aerosol samples [39]. 

Metal powders and flbers like iron, tin, copper, brass, and bronze are used as binders in sintered formulations. Powder metallurgy processes are used to fabricate these friction materials.

Experimental expander vanes are being fabricated to potentially qualify a unique powder metallurgy process that provides net shape, finish, and hardness without secondary operations. 

Processing of Powder Metallurgy Alloys. Powder metallurgy processed aluminum alloys suffer from three major microstructural problems that limit their full potential prior-particle boundaries with an aluminum oxide film, microstructural inhomogeneity, and remnant porosity. These microstructural features particularly hamper the ductility in very high-strength aluminum alloys. Berbon et al. (Ref 59, 134)... 

In summary, melt atomization is a primary and widely used powder metallurgy process, in which an alloy melt jet is energetically disintegrated into micrometersized powders under a controlled environment and non-equihbrium thermal and solidification conditions. It is widely used to produce a variety of powders from almost any metal.

Metal interconnects typically made of ferritic alloys have slightly higher thermal expansion coefficients than YSZ. A new alloy was produced so as to fit the thermal expansion of YSZ this is a Cr-based alloy, Cr5Fel Y2O3 [39]. Since this alloy is oxide dispersed and therefore quite hard, it is not easy to fabricate it into a desired shape. For this purpose, powder metallurgy process has been developed [40]. 

Following solidification, the rapidly cooled samples are then ground to fine powders. Alloys are then further processed by standard powder metallurgy processing routes (Chang et al. 1989).

Metal injection molding (MIM) is a form of powder metallurgy process that is ideally suited for the production of small complex parts. Its main advantage lies in its ability to produce finished parts to net-shape, requiring little or no expensive secondary operations. Hence, it is extremely attractive for hard metals and high precision or high performance parts.
