Among powder metallurgy products, complex shaped parts are difficult to be produced. Even i9f it shall be compacted until pet shape, the parts are easily apt to crack. thus it causes inferior productivity.It is present condition that net ahaped parts are obtained by adding after treatment. Clutch hub, pulley, representative partawifh upper 2 steps, tower 3 steps parts are corresponded to the above case. In recent years. muired parts are get to be thinner and thinner, and therefore extremely high compacting techniaues are required. Definition of most preferable com~actingp arts are I) Uniform density 2) Non crack and 3) Realization of net shape or near net shape productlon. For the above purpose, YOSHIZUKA baa developed n now oreas applying hydraulic servo control system.
MATERIAL AND PROCESS VARIABLES THAT STRONGLY AFFECT THE CORROSION RESISTANCE OF PA4 STAINLESS STEELS, INCLUDE : ALLOY COMPOSITION, POWDER CLEANLINESS, NITROGEN, OXYGEN AND GARBON CONTENTS, CHROMIUM DEPLETION DUE TO SURFACE EVAPORATION AND SINTERED DENSITY. THE OPTIMUM PROCESS PARAMETERS FOR DELUBRICATION AND SINTERING THAT RESULT IN LOWEST LEVELS OF NITROGEN, OXYGEN AND CARBON AND MINIMUM LEVELS OF CHROMIUM DEPLETION WILL BE PRESENTED, FOR A NUMBER OF AUSTENTIC AND FERRITIC STAINLESS STEELS. THE EFFECT OF SINTERED DENSITY ON THE CORROSION RESISTANCE OF BOTH AUSTENITIC AND FERRITIC GRADES OF STAINLESS STEEL WILL ALSO BE COVERED.
