  • Lubes spread further than PM compacts
    Say lubricants to most people in the PM industry and the first things they think of are the additives that ease green parts out of the press. But take a step back and look at the complex machinery that makes up the press. What are its lubrication needs? Phil Burge from SKF offers some compelling evidence to encourage users to look more closely at lubrication regimes...

  • Simulating flow can help avoid mould mistakes Simulating flow can help avoid mould mistakes
    Trial and error sometimes produces answers for an experienced MIM operator faced with a problem in the mould. But modelling is increasingly being called into play to cut costs and save time before production starts. The author of this piece, Marco Thornagel from Sigma Engineering, explains how a mathematical model can fit in with the realities of production…
  • 2C ceramics moves into the industrial reality zone 2C ceramics moves into the industrial reality zone
    The low weight, high performance characteristics of ceramic components means that ceramic injection moulding is an expanding business. A seven-country European research project has shown that technology can boost desirable traits in this powder technology…

  • Attritors and Ferrite Grinding Applications
    In today's electronic world, the demand for high quality ferrite products is rising rapidly. There are several types of ferrites and the preparation of all these are similar; the principal difference is in the raw material used.
  • Low-level demagnetization as preparation process for shaping of metal powder parts
    An important cost factor in the production of metal powder pressed parts for the automotive industry are the punches and dies, which are usually made of sintered tungsten carbides and often provided with wear resistant coatings. These tools are subject to strong mechanical wear, and hence have a limited life.
