Before anything can be manufactured from metal powder, the powder itself has to be made. Most powders are made by the automisation of molten metal. John Dunkley looks at the major atomisation method in use...JohnDunkleySDOSMetal Powder Report...
Powder metallurgy uses sintering process for making various parts out of metal powder. The metal powder is compacted by placing in a closed metal cavity (the die) under pressure. This compacted material is placed in an oven and sintered in a controlled atmosphere at high temperatures and the me...
Dough made from wheat flour is particularly well suited to baking bread because it contains a large amount of gluten, a substance composed of strong, elastic proteins. The gluten forms a network throughout the dough, trapping the gases which are formed by yeast, baking powder, or other ...
How metal parts are made can vary significantly. Each process has its own strengths, compatible materials, and trade-offs. A deeper understanding of the range of production methods will improve this decision-making process. This is an overview of 8 different manufacturing processes you can utilize...
Whilst machine builders once again dominated Formnext 2018, the world's metal powder producers have also become an increasingly important part of the event as the industry evolves towards serial production. In the following report, Toby Tmgskog highlights some of the major events in the world of ...
How is visco fuse made? Visco fuse is the simplest form of the fuse consisting of the burning core of black powder coated with one or more over raps made of textile. The outer layers of the visco fuse are coated with wax or lacquer. Because of its durability and water resistance, visco...
Wheel loaders and dumper trucks transport the raw material to the crushing installations. There the rock is broken down to roughly the size used in road metalling. Raw material preparation I: storage and homogenisation The crushed material is transported into the raw material storage of the cement...
is to add oil to the blended pigments, decompose the pigments and melt them in the oil and stir them. Stirring is just a preliminary mix of ingredients, not smooth enough. To make the ingredients mix and color more evenly, they need to be ground in metal rollers to flatten the clumped ...
steels found in our knives are forged. Even PM (powder metallurgy steel) is technically forged by taking teensy ingots and mushing them together into one big ingot. This is a ridiculous over-simplification, but without getting too in depth from a scientific standpoint, this is the best I ...
