Sinterwerke

In sintering, the success of the sintered part also depends on selecting the right material. Sinterwerke uses the following materials based on DIN 30910.

The mixing of the iron powder together with various alloying elements ensures an equal distribution of the individual materials.
By this means the required material characteristics can be adjusted and frictional force during pressing reduced.

Therefore, our powder metallurgists have a multitude of alloy combinations at their disposal in comparison to other forming procedures.

The efforts of any further procedures on the finished pressed part should be kept to a minimum. Therefore, possible alterations are discussed and documented during the construction phase.

During the pressing process the powder is compacted into green parts under high pressure.

At this point the finished pressed part almost has the final form, however not the required strength.

During the pressing process very little wastage is produced because the exact amount of powder is used as is required for forming the part. This means cost savings in comparison with other forming technologies.

In series production, the specific pressing forces required for sintering range from 60 to 80 kN/cm2 of surface area.The equipment of Sinterwerke for sintered part production includes:

The innovative sinter technology of Sinterwerke comes from many years of experience in the development and production of high-density sinter parts.

During the sinter process the green parts are heat treated. The compressed powder particles are bonded by diffusion, an essential factor in defining the density of the sinter parts.
The following furnaces are to be found in our sintering department:

Our sinter parts offer a high degree of dimensional accuracy. The calibration or sizing process is necessary in order to guarantee this dimensional accuracy.

The dimensional accuracy as well as the density are increased by calibration and the surface roughness of the part can be improved. In this way expensive additional procedures, which are often necessary in other forming technologies, are reduced to a minimum.

We are equipped with various turning, milling and grinding machines for mechanical machining.

With these machines it is possible for us to form the parts into the final shape by removing any surplus material.

We offer heat treatment equipment for temperatures from 250°C to 1,300°C with additional facilities for special applications (eg direct hardening).

Fully automized inductive hardening machines with palletisers as well as a retort furnace with a capacity of 350kg per batch are also available. 

Mainly High-precision tools required for mass production are fabricated in-house.

This enables us to manufacture high precision tools and fixtures with the shortest possible delivery terms.

The manufacture and condition of the tools is a decisive factor which influences the quality and the accuracy of the sinter parts.

Our Quality department is responsible for the conformance to all quality requirements.

This ensures a stable quality of the parts from the construction stage to the finished product. The quality requirements in our company are verified by ISO certifications.

Additional technological procedures for the treatment of sinter parts are also available at Sinterwerke.

These are:
