Powder Metallurgy
Powder Metallurgy is one of the four major methods of shaping metals:
MachiningHot and Cold plastic
deformationCasting P/M
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.
Powder Metallurgy
The basic conventional process of making P/M parts consists of two basic steps:Compacting (molding)Sintering
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
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.
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

Metal Powders
A number of different metals and their alloys are used in P/M: Iron Alloy steel Stainless steel Copper Tin Lead
Metal Powders
The three most important methods of producing metal powders are:
AtomizationChemical methodsElectrolysis
processes
Powder Compaction
Compacting or pressing gives powder products their shape.
Pressing and Sintering techniques can be separated into two types: Conventional Alternative
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
Powder Compaction
Alternative powder compaction can be classified into: Alternative compaction
methods Combined compaction and
sintering Alternative sintering
methods
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.
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
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
Advantages of P/M
Almost as strong as wrought steels
Lighter weight parts Ability to impregnate
with oils, fillers, other materials with desirable properties
Disadvantages of P/M
Lower corrosion resistance
Reduced plastic propertiesDuctilityImpact strength

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.

Motion and Parameters:Speed, Feed, and Depth of Cut
Cutting Speed:The rate at which the
workpiece moves past the tool or the rate at which the rotating surface of the cutting edge of the tool moves past the workpiece.
Motion and Parameters:Speed, Feed, and Depth of Cut
Feed Motion: the advancement of the
cutting tool along the workpiece (for lathes) or the advancement of the workpiece past the tool (for milling machines).
Motion and Parameters:Speed, Feed, and Depth of Cut
Feed Rate:The distance that a
cutting tool moves in either one revolution (feed per revolution) or in one minute (feed per minute) in a machining operation.
Motion and Parameters:Speed, Feed, and Depth of Cut
Depth of Cut: The thickness of the layer
of material sheared from a workpiece by a cutting tool in a machining operation.
The depth of cut determines the width of the chips produced in the machining operation.
Basic Machining Processes
Machinability: the ease or relative ease
with which a workpiece can be machined
compared by measuring the power required and cutting tool life for each workpiece material.
Basic Machining Processes
Cutting Tool Geometry: Tool Geometry (shape)
varies considerably depending on the machining application.
The shape and angle of cut of the tool are key to the proper removal of material

Chip Formation/Chip Control: Chips that are shaped like
“9”s are preferred. This means the tool geometry, cutting speed, and depth are correct
Many cutting tool have “chip-breaking” geometries that help to produce the desired chip shape
