Sintering & Powder Metallurgy
Sintering, which is a common process for parts used in the automotive, medical, and firearms industries, is a powder metallurgy process that bonds powder metal particles together to create structural integrity and strength. A variety of metal and ceramic materials can be sintered. Some of the more common methods of sintering include: conventional press and sinter, metal or ceramic injection molding (MIM/CIM), and liquid-phase sintering. In most forms of sintering, the temperature used is below the melting point of the powder metal, but high enough to bond the particles together.
