An example of a sintered metal is a structural steel part. Sintering is a process in which metal powders, such as iron or stainless steel, are compacted and heated to fuse the particles together. This results in a solid part with improved mechanical properties, such as higher strength, wear resistance, and dimensional accuracy compared to traditional cast parts.
Sintering can also be used to create other types of metal components, such as porous metals for filtering, tungsten wiring, self-lubricating bearings, magnetic materials, electrical contacts, dental products, medical products, and cutting tools. The process of sintering can be used to create parts of different shapes and sizes, including those with complex geometries or internal features that would be difficult to produce using other manufacturing methods.
In addition to structural steel parts, other sintered materials can include 300-series stainless steels, 400-series stainless steels, carbon steel, refractory metals like tungsten or molybdenum, and various alloys. The use of sintering can also result in benefits such as reduced porosity, enhanced strength, improved electrical conductivity, increased translucency, and better thermal conductivity.
