As we know,powder metallurgy as an advanced metal forming technology,its applications ranges from automotive industry,machinery industry,medical industry,electronic devices to military/defense industry,etc.
With its rapid development,the main raw material of domestic powder metallurgy technology became sundry,such as the atomized iron powder,stainless steel powder,high speed steel powder and other element metal powder,ceramic powder and so on, so basically they could meet the needs of high strength metal components,what's more,many powder manufacturer could produce the metal powder used for special functions,so the types of powder metallurgy components has been expanded grately,while there the quality is not as good as the components made by oversea manufacturers,
On the powder metallurgy production equipment,many domestic manufacturers purchased the compactng machines,sintering furnaces and other testing machines from foreign countries, so the products quality has been improved grately.
On the powder metallurgy components,many domestic manufacturers could produce the high strengh and high complicated components,such as the Timing Chain gears and sprockets used on automotive engines, but some middle and high level powder metallurgy components must be imported from other countries,such as the the sintering components used on Buick.
Thus the components with high strength and complicate structures would be the main development direction of powder metallurgy sintering technology.
