Sintering Is the Process of Using Heat to Turn Powdered Substances Into Solids Without Actually Melting the Material.

Benefits of sintered powdered metallurgy (PM):

  • Cost effective
  • Provides excellent reproducibility and repeatability
  • Many features can be formed in tooling, thus eliminating or minimizing machining
  • Very high material to yield ratio
  • Wide variety of alloy systems and materials are available
  • Long term performance reliability
  • Excellent surface finishes
  • Energy efficient and environmentally friendly
  • Sustainability

About Compax Sintering:

Sintering allows production of parts without melting and liquid casting processes, i.e., dealing with only powder or fine sand.

The compacted part is placed on a mesh belt or a tray and slowly moves through a furnace with a controlled atmosphere and temperature. The parts are heated below the melting point of the metals. The compacted particles of the part are changed from a mechanical bond between the particles into a metallurgical bond between the particles. Compax has higher sintering capabilities than most of its competitors. A higher sintering temperature creates enhanced mechanical properties and significantly improves stainless steel materials.
