Powder metallurgy parts can reduce cost and vehicle weight

At present, POWDER metallurgy has been recognized as a green and sustainable manufacturing technology in the industry. Professor Han introduced the sustainability of powder metallurgy from several aspects, such as sustainability of functional materials, sustainability of energy, sustainability of equipment, sustainability of environment, sustainability of employment, sustainable value advantage and so on.

In continuous function aspect, for example, the final forming of the powder metallurgy ability and material utilization rate is very high, can make the total energy consumption minimization and the traditional process (hot working + cold) casting or forging + machining compared to manufacturing the same parts powder metallurgy industry requires only a small number of several working procedure, which can finish the process More complex process.

In terms of material sustainability, the final forming capability of PM is its main advantage. For example, to form a toothed part, up to 40% of the material in traditional cutting process is reduced to chips, while 85% of the total powder used in PM is produced from recycled materials In the production of PM parts, the waste loss of each process is generally 3% or less, and the material utilization rate can reach 95%.
