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…

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.
