  1. DT1410 - Materials and Processes in Design Unit 5 - Powder Metallurgy - Principles of Machining Processes

  2. Powder Metallurgy • Powder Metallurgy is one of the four major methods of shaping metals: • Machining • Hot and Cold plastic deformation • Casting • P/M

  3. Powder Metallurgy • The Powder Metallurgy process is essentially the compression of finely divided metal powder into briquettes of desired shape that is then heated, but not melted to form a metallurgical bond between the particles.

  4. Powder Metallurgy • The basic conventional process of making P/M parts consists of two basic steps: • Compacting (molding) • Sintering

  5. Powder Metallurgy • Compacting: • Loose powder (or a blend of different powders) is placed in a die and is then compacted between punches. • Commonly done at room temperature • Compounded part is known as a briquette

  6. Powder Metallurgy • Sintering: • The briquette is heated to a temperature high enough to cause the powder particles to bond together by solid-state diffusion. • The powder particles also homogenize any alloy constituents into the powder. • Melting does not normally occur.

  7. Powder Metallurgy • After Sintering: • The P/M part is now ready for secondary operations: • Sizing • Machining • Heat treating • Tumble finishing • Impregnating with oils, plastics, or liquids

  9. Metal Powders • A number of different metals and their alloys are used in P/M: • Iron • Alloy steel • Stainless steel • Copper • Tin • Lead

  10. Metal Powders • The three most important methods of producing metal powders are: • Atomization • Chemical methods • Electrolysis processes

  11. Powder Compaction • Compacting or pressing gives powder products their shape. • Pressing and Sintering techniques can be separated into two types: • Conventional • Alternative

  12. Powder Compaction • Conventional powder compaction: • The powder is press unidirectionally in a single- or double-acting press • Unlike liquids, which flow in all direction under pressure, powders tend to flow mainly in the direction of the applied pressure

  13. Powder Compaction • Alternative powder compaction can be classified into: • Alternative compaction methods • Combined compaction and sintering • Alternative sintering methods

  14. Powder Compaction • Advanced/Alternative Processes: • Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP) • The process of compacting a powder by exerting a constant high pressure at room temperature. • Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) • The process of compacting a powder by exerting a constant high pressure at elevated temperatures.

  15. Sintering • In solid-phase sintering the green compact part must be heated to 60 to 80% of the melting point of the constituent with the lowest melting point. • Time required 30 minutes to 2 hours in a sintering furnace to produce the metallurgic bonds

  16. Characteristics of PM Parts • Superior engineered microstructures • Consistent properties and quality • Controlled porosity for filters/self-lubrication • Very low scrap loss • Wide variety of shape designs • Unlimited choice of alloys and composites • Low cost, high volume production • Good surface finishes • Close dimensional tolerances • Little or no machining required

  17. Advantages of P/M • Almost as strong as wrought steels • Lighter weight parts • Ability to impregnate with oils, fillers, other materials with desirable properties

  18. Disadvantages of P/M • Lower corrosion resistance • Reduced plastic properties • Ductility • Impact strength

  20. Principles of Machining Processes • Machining is essentially the process of removing unwanted material from wrought (rolled) stock, forgings, or casting to produce a desired shape, surface finish, and dimension.
