Sintering is a process of heating powdered raw materials to create solid products without melting them. It can be used to shape ceramics, metals, glass, plastics, composites, and alloys. There are two methods: solid state and liquid phase, with specific variants like spark plasma and selective laser sintering. Sintered products have advantages over other manufacturing […]
Selective laser sintering is an additive manufacturing process that uses a high-temperature laser to melt powder into a predetermined shape. A computer model is required, and the laser builds the shape layer by layer. The powder used is usually a mixture of two parts, and the cooling period varies depending on the materials used. Selective […]
Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a fast and cost-effective technique that uses direct current pulses to create spark energy between particles of a material, resulting in high-density structures. It can be applied to ceramics, composites, and nanostructures, and produces uniform heating and density. SPS has low operating costs, short completion times, and can be used […]
Iron ore sintering partially melts iron powder to remove non-ferrous particles before further processing. High-grade iron ore is crushed into fine particles for sintering, using substances such as coke breeze and burnt limestone. The process aims to create a consistent chemical composition, increase strength, and create a uniform particle size for specific manufacturing applications. Different […]
