Powder metallurgy is a process technology in which metal powder, or a mixture of metal powder and non-metal powder, is used as raw material to form and solidify certain shaped metal materials, composite materials, and various types of products. Powder metallurgy is mainly suitable for the automotive industry, equipment manufacturing industry, metal industry, aerospace, military industry, instrumentation, hardware tools, electronic appliances and other fields of spare parts, involving the production of related raw materials and auxiliary materials, as well as the manufacturing of various powder preparation equipment and sintering equipment.
The products include bearings, gears, hard alloy cutting tools, molds, friction products, and so on. In military industry enterprises, heavy weapons and equipment such as armor piercing shells, torpedoes, and brake sets for aircraft and tanks need to be produced using powder metallurgy technology. In recent years, powder metallurgy automotive parts have become the largest market in China's powder metallurgy industry, with approximately 50% of automotive parts being powder metallurgy parts.
At present, common powder metallurgy raw materials include iron, steel, stainless steel, copper, copper alloys, titanium and titanium alloys, refractory high-temperature alloys, and other powders. Powder metallurgy using aluminum alloy powder as the raw material becomes aluminum alloy powder metallurgy.
