Introduction to Powder Metallurgy Technics and Products
Powder metallurgy products are made using metal powders like iron powder, copper powder, stainless steel powder etc. (including mixing non-metal powder) through the shaping-agglomerating method. The traditional process flow is material mixing pressing agglomerating reshaping post treatment, i.e., firstly put the highly pure mixed powder into the mould, press-shape it under certain pressure, and then agglomerate the pressed semi-finished product in the controllable furnace at a temperature lower than the base material's melting point to form the powdered particles into an alloy whole.

Merits of powder metallurgy technology:
1.  Requiring non or little cutting process,
2.  The utilization rate of the material is up to 97%,
3.  The production tolerance of accessory size is relatively small making it repeatable,
4.  Material composition is adjustable,
5.  Accessory's surface is fine and smooth,
6.  Its strength and abrasion resistance can be enhanced through heat treatment,
7.  For self-lubricating or filtrating, materials or products with controllable porosity are affordable,
8.  It can produce fancy accessories with complicated shapes, which cannot be produced using other shaping processing methods, It's suitable for medium to mass production of accessories.
