What metals can be sintered?
A wide range of metals can be sintered, including iron, iron-copper, copper steels, nickel steels, stainless steels (300 and 400 series), high-strength low-alloy steels (HSLA), medium- and high-carbon steels, diffusion hardenable steels, brass, bronze, and soft iron magnetic alloys. Additionally, metals such as aluminum, brass, bronze, and stainless steel are also used in sintering processes.
-
Iron and its alloys: Iron-based materials, including carbon steels, iron-copper, and iron-nickel alloys, are commonly sintered due to their wide range of applications and mechanical properties. These materials can be sintered by pressing, molding, and injection molding, resulting in high-quality, low-porosity parts with excellent properties.
-
Stainless steels: Stainless steels, particularly the 300 and 400 series, can be sintered to create parts with high strength, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. These materials are ideal for applications in the automotive, aerospace, and medical industries.
-
High-strength low-alloy steels (HSLA): HSLA steels can be sintered to produce components with high strength and toughness, making them suitable for structural applications in the automotive and construction industries.
-
Aluminum: Aluminum and its alloys can be sintered to create lightweight, high-strength components for various applications, including automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
-
Brass and bronze: Brass and bronze are commonly sintered due to their excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and machinability. These materials are used in various applications, including bearings, bushings, and automotive parts.
In summary, sintering is a versatile process that can be applied to a wide range of metals, including iron-based materials, stainless steels, high-strength low-alloy steels, aluminum, brass, and bronze. The process allows for greater control over the manufacturing process, resulting in more consistent products with excellent mechanical properties.
