Structural Steel Components

sintering is used to make a great number of mechanical and hydraulic structural components. the capital goods industry is a major consumer of sintered structural components. since the profitability of buying sintered parts increases with the annual output, it is easy to understand that the largest consumers are the automotive, electrical appliances and handtool industries and other high-volume industrial segments. a wide range of iron-based materials, shapes, finishes, treatments and coatings can be used to obtain parts with high accuracy and performance. their mechanical properties are comparable to those of wrought structural steels or alloy cast iron, with tensile strength greater than 1250 mpa being achievable. this material range includes the sintered stainless steels, which are used in systems requiring high corrosion or thermal resistance. the ability of powder metallurgy to manufacture toothed parts directly from-tool without machining makes it suitable for the manufacture o
