      • Use cases: Could Powder metal be your future solution?

      • When you consider producing a part in metal, there are several ways to achieve the desired design. At FJ Industries we produce parts using several methods: casting, machining and powder metal. This case concerns a customer who switched from a machined part to a powder metal part. That resulted in several benefits for the customer, including: 

        • Reduced price
        • A re-design of the part
        • Achieved narrow tolerances
        • Dimensional stability

        Reduced price

        The customer experienced a price reduction of 54% simply by switching from a machined part to a powder metal part. Typically, price reductions are achieved because of the savings in the production of a powder part compared to a machined part. This is partly due to the fact that post-processing of a powder metal part can usually be avoided – there is no waste.

        Same functionality - changed shape

        When producing parts in powder metal, design changes are often necessary to make it suitable for production. In this case, the complexity of the part was reduced and thereby the tooling costs without changing the functionality of the part. This resulted in a lower piece price for the customer. Our in-house experts can help adapt the part to powder metal technology so you can profit from the benefits of powder metal.

        Achieving narrow tolerances

        Narrow tolerances can be achieved with casting, powder metal and machining technologies. However, with powder metal technology, narrow tolerances can be achieved more frequently and are less costly compared to the other technologies. In this specific customer case, we achieved a higher repeatability when producing with powder technology, thereby avoiding the challenges of stress in the material that can be caused by machining technology.

        More dimensionally stable

        The customer experienced a more dimensionally stable part when switching from machining to powder metal. The machining technology caused stress in the material that required pre-treatment and further machining before hardening to secure that it would not cause the part to twist. In this case, the powder technology ensured that it was possible to achieve the required flatness tolerance necessary for the part’s function. When producing parts in powder metal, the part can usually be made from the sizes of the mould, thus avoiding subsequent machining.

          • Powder Metal

          • Powder metal parts – the cost-efficient solution to manufacture iron and steel components

            If you are looking for ways to reduce costs, scale production efficiently and improve your competitive power, you should consider powder metal components.

            Iron-based powder materials come with several benefits which have helped numerous companies to increase output and reduce costs at the same time. Our customers include small and large manufacturing companies in automotive, medical and many other industrial segments.

            Low costs make powder metal parts competitive

            Cost savings are what really make components made from powder metal unique. The process is very efficient and there is significantly low material waste compared to other technologies.

            Despite initial tool costs it is often profitable to produce even small volumes. We can deliver as few as 1,000 units per year; a fact that makes powder metal components attractive for low volume as well as high volume manufacturers. We are happy to provide the advice and quotes that help you make the right decision.

              • Actuators

              • Actuators are typically driven by a gear motor or servomotor for determining velocity and position. FJ Sintermetal manufactures sintered components for linear actuators that are part of rotating gear / planetary gears and piston rod / cylinder devices.

                In this context, sintered components excel as noise reduction is one of their many properties.

              • Automation

              • Powder metal is a suitable manufacturing method for machine components and automation. Bushings and wear parts are typically made of bronze, and the filters are often made of bronze or stainless steel. Examples of applications are numerous and the deciding factor is often price in relation to design optimization and precision. Sintered components often turn out as a cost saving and efficient process compared to conventional machining methods.

                Oil impregnation is often used in bearings and bushings as a self-lubricating method.

              • Automotive

              • FJ Sintermetal manufactures sintered components for the automotive industry. These components are generally characterized by high quality standards and requirements for a capability higher than 1.67 is typically a prerequisite. FJ Sintermetal controls the entire process in accordance with TS 16949 with APQP and PPAP as essentiel elements. The powder metal technology is an obvious process technology for the manufacturing of large batches of items of uniform quality with specific accuracy requirements and good material properties.
              • Filters

              • Filters produced in powder metal technology are used in many industrial applications, such as central heating systems (oil burners), gas/air flow restrictors and fuel filters. The design of the filters can be adjusted to match customer specifications.

                FJ produces filters in bronze and various grades of stainless steel.

              • Forestry and gardening

              • The sintering process is particularly well-suited for the manufacturing of gearing components. Gears in one or more levels can be manufactured with a high precision level, within the tool itself. A quality class 8 can typically be achieved and a module of down to about 0.4 can be manufactured in powder metal – depending on the desired number of teeth.

                Gears are usually carbonitrited subsequently to achieve a hard and wear resistant surface. Toothed rims can be manufactured profitably in powder metal. Material savings are significant, as there is no waste of material in the sintering process.

              • Household appliances

              • Powder metal components are found in many appliances and machines used in households. Components for sewing machines, among many others, are often made of sintered metal, due the precision in the process. Design is a key word and materials could typically be coated or uncoated stainless steel, depending on whether a neat and uniform surface or a particular color is required.

              • Hydraulics

              • FJ Sintermetal manufactures various components for hydraulic pumps. Hydraulic pumps are characterized by operating at high speed and with high pressure (i.e. at 270 bar), which requires high precision and strength in the sintered components.

                Porosity is countered by plastic impregnation of the component, in order to withstand the high hydraulic pressure. Black oxidation, grinding and lapping are typical subsequent processes for hydraulic components.

              • Locking systems

              • The powder metal process is used for manufacturing locking systems. Components for the locking of doors are usually small, with complex designs. In order to ensure a high performance level, tight tolerances are generally required. Components are often made of stainless steel or coated in order to obtain optimum corrosion protection.

              • Power Tools

              • For many tool parts, powder metal manufacturing is a convenient choice, when requirements include uniformity and narrow tolerances. Components for Power Tools require high mechanical properties and high precision. Clamps with special trays can also conveniently be manufactured in powder metal due to the many design options. Positioning systems for machining require good material properties with high precision.
              • Motors

              • Components for electrical motors are typically manufactured in soft magnetic materials. Materials used can be pure ferrite or silicon and phosphorus alloys. Depending on the desired magnetic properties, soft magnetic composites (Soft Magnetic Composites = SMC)can be used, resulting in 3-D high-flux induction and high resistivity and low core loss comparable to that of conventional laminated steel sheets.
              • Pumps

              • Sintered components are often used as a basis for pump components. With subsequent calibration, fine tolerances are achieved which are required for achieving a optimum vibration-free pump operation. Bushings are typically made in special designs of bronze, and sealing systems are typically in stainless steel. Components can be treated with a galvanic coating to increase corrosion resistance.
              • Windows

              • For automated opening and closing of windows, powder metal components are typically used for the mechanical operating element, e.g. reduction gear motors. The advantage is that you can manufacture precision components, at a low cost and in large series. The components are usually surface coated to increase corrosion resistance.
              • Other

              • The powder metal technology is a suitable manufacturing method for many components e.g. fittings, filters and other parts designed for industrial use. The cheapest and simplest form of sintered components are produced simply by pressing and sintering, without subsequent machining.

                It is important to consult FJ Sintermetal as early as possible, preferably in the design phase, in order for us to help you optimize your design for the desired production processes.

                Phosphorus alloyed sintered steel is suitable for welding and a good weldability and ductility can be achieved in the material. Powder metal can be tailored to the desired properties, depending on the specified functionality of the component or product.
