Understanding the stages to successful delubrication of Powder Metallurgy components
The Gasbarre Furnace Group, a division of Gasbarre Products, offers a comprehensive spectrum of industrial heat treating equipment, engineering, technology and commercial-based solutions through its three companies, Sinterite, C.I. Hayes and J. L. Becker. In this article, Sinterite’s Steven Smith discusses the important process of delubrication in the sintering of Powder Metallurgy components.
Holzapfel’s Sinter Surface Solutions: A reliable process for impregnating and plating PM components
Powder Metallurgy has numerous technological advantages for the production of structural components. However, the process has certain disadvantages when it comes to surface finishing. Sinter Surface Solutions, a two-stage method developed by the Holzapfel Group, is reported to offer a reliable process for the impregnation and subsequent plating of sintered materials.
In this article, Michael Immel, Innovation and Project Manager, Holzapfel Group, explains the process.
