Powder metallurgy products in the automotive industry again prominent

Powder metallurgy (PM) is a technology which can manufacture complicated shape parts, economize material, save energy and save labor. It is very suitable for mass production. Therefore, in the United States and Japan the powder metallurgy structure parts and automotive industry is developing simultaneously. It is reported that over 1000 kinds of powder metallurgy parts are used in automobiles. Examples: soft and hard magnetic elements used in automobile horns, radios, miniature television sets, video recorders, and instrumentation; Brushes used in automobile starters and generators; Platinum contact in distributor (w contact); Anti-skid nails in automobile tires; Exhaust valve seats for unleaded gasoline engines; Sintered metal oil filter in diesel engine; Friction material of heavy duty truck brake; DU, DX bearings and bimetallic bearing bearings, as well as carbide tools, measuring tools and moulds widely used in automobile manufacturing, can only be manufactured with powder metallurgy technology.

It is obvious what the automobile industry would look like today without these powder metallurgy products and materials. At the same time, powder metallurgy is an advanced metal forming technology, which is a new and high technology for metal and other powder to make mechanical parts and metal products through processing, pressing molding, sintering and necessary subsequent processing.

As powder metallurgy products and materials have many advantages such as energy saving, material saving, high efficiency and environmental protection, they have been widely used and have great market potential and development prospects. In recent years, the powder metallurgy industry has developed rapidly, especially the automobile industry, machinery manufacturing, metal industry, aerospace industry, instruments and instruments, hardware tools, engineering machinery, electronic appliances and high-tech industry, which has brought rare development opportunities and huge market space for the powder metallurgy industry. At the same time, the technical level of the industry also put forward higher requirements.
