In manufacturing systems, the term workstation refers to a location in the factory where some well-defined operation is accomplished by man and/or machines. The machines used in manufacturing or assembly can be classified as follows: Manually Operated Machines: In manually operated machines, the machines only provide the power for operations but the control of operations is…

These are secondary operations intended to provide dimensional tolerances and better surface finish. They are sizing, coining, machining, impregnation, infiltration, heat treatment, and plating. Sizing: It is repressing the sintered component in the die to achieve the required size with accuracy. Coining: It is repressing the sintered components in the die to increase density and to give…

Sintering involves heating of the green compact at high temperatures in a controlled atmosphere to protect from oxidation of metal powders. Sintering increases the bond strength between the particles. Sintering temperature is usually 0.6–0.8 times the melting point of the powder. In case of mixed powders of different melting temperatures, the sintering temperature will usually…

The main purpose of compacting is converting loose powder into a green compact of accurate shape and size. The techniques adopted for compacting are pressing, centrifugal compacting, extrusion, gravity sintering, and rolling. Pressing: The metal powders are placed in a die cavity and compressed to form a component shaped to the contour of the die (Figure…

Blending and mixing of the powders are essential for uniformity of the product. Lubricants (such as graphite) are added to the blending of powders before mixing. The function of lubricant is to minimize the wear and to reduce friction. Different powders in correct proportions are thoroughly mixed either wet or in a ball mill to…
