Powder forming technology

There are a variety of production techniques for powder metallurgy parts, which range from high pressure molding to non-pressure forming, such as slurry casting, in which high pressure molding plays a dominant role. During the molding process, the powder forming reaches a certain degree of densification. The forming of powder metallurgy products can also be achieved by other low pressure methods, which usually require a binder to maintain the shape of the part and achieve further consolidation through sintering. Other methods include the full densification process, which is a method of applying high pressure at high temperatures to make the mechanical properties of powder metallurgy parts reach or even exceed the level of forged parts. Finally, the production technology of powder metallurgy parts also includes metal powder spray forming for producing high-density parts.
