5 Essential Features of Powder Metallurgy Presses
Powder Metallurgy (PM) is a highly efficient manufacturing process for producing complex, net-shape metal components with exceptional consistency and minimal waste. At the heart of this technology is the powder compaction press, the machine that transforms loose metal powder into a high-density "green" part. The capabilities of the press directly dictate the quality, complexity, and economic viability of the final product. While powder metallurgy presses vary in size and configuration, from simple mechanical models to advanced hydraulic systems, all modern high-performance hydraulic presses share several core essential features. Here are the five most critical ones. Features of Powder Metallurgy Presses 1. High - Precision Pressure Control: Powder metallurgy presses need to be able to precisely control the pressure applied during the compaction process. For example, hydraulic CNC powder presses can achieve a repetition accuracy of ±0.01 mm. This high - precision pressu...
