Powder metallurgy parts are made of copper, iron and other metal powders mixed in a certain proportion, compressed and formed by a forming machine, and sintered at a temperature below the melting point.
Diamond and CBN double disc grinding wheel usually used for grinding powder metallurgy automotive parts such as shock absorber parts, engine parts, transmission parts, other automotive parts,etc.
Advantages of powder metallurgy
(1) Saving resources, saving processes because the metal powder directly formed, without cutting can achieve high accuracy, can be in a short time at a low cost for mass production.
(2) High strength parts can be produced by selecting suitable mixing, forming, sintering and post-processing technologies.
(3) the composite of parts for gear, CAM, gear and gear, CAM and CAM forming in one, can be two or three parts composite.
(4) Since the sintered body material can have pores and contain oil, the excellent characteristics of mechanical parts and bearings can be obtained.
(5) The properties of composite materials can be different characteristics of materials, such as iron, copper, graphite and ceramic composite, can be obtained heat resistance and wear resistance of excellent materials.
1. Shock absorber parts
2. Engine parts
3. Transmission parts
4. Other automotive parts
1. Engine components
In an effort to improve fuel economy and control emissions, working conditions for car engines have become harsher. The use of powder metallurgy valve seat, valve guide, VCT and sprocket, etc., can have high strength, high wear resistance and excellent heat resistance.
Automotive P/M engine parts mainly include: transmission system parts (valve seat, valve guide and valve), variable valve timing parts, control levers, etc.
2. Transmission parts
The nearly finished synchrotron tooth ring was combined with a double friction material and a high strength material to produce the world's first clutch hub. In addition, high strength components, such as handle shift gears and shift forks, are manufactured by high temperature sintering.
The main parts of P/M transmission in automobile are: synchronizer hub, synchronizer ring, parking parts, column shift parts and control levers.
3. Shock absorber components
In the shock absorber of automobile and motorcycle, piston rod and piston guide valve are important parts. Considering the stable damping force of the shock absorber, the use of powder metallurgy parts, with high precision sheet surface, can reduce friction, ensure the stability of the handling, improve ride comfort.
