What materials should be used for sintering mechanical parts ?
The range of metallic materials used for mechanical parts is extremely varied. The ISO 5755, MPIF Standard 35, and DIN 30910 standards specify the mechanical properties for standard grades, depending on the composition and density level of the material.
The influence of density on mechanical characteristics varies depending on the property being studied. Local densification, via compression or complementary processes, increases the mechanical properties of the product.
These mechanical parts are used in many industrial applications where reliability and precision are essential.
For each application,
a defined and standardized material.
The chemical composition is obtained by mixing different powders. The mixture consists of elemental powders (iron, graphite, copper, etc.) and pre-alloyed powders. The range of metallic materials used for mechanical parts is extremely varied. The composition and properties of the most commonly used grades are standardized (ISO 5755 or MPIF-Std35 standards).
The advantages of sintering for mechanical parts.
The sintering process applied to the design and manufacture of mechanical parts offers numerous advantages. Sintering enables the mass production of complex parts with minimal or no machining, and also allows for the achievement of targeted mechanical properties by adjusting the composition of the powders and the density.
