Reduced Weight Scatter with Bonded Powder Mixes

  • Published : 2006.09.24

Abstract

Organically bonded P/M mixes have been developed to improve the stability of dimensional properties by reducing the segregation of the mix constituents and improving the filling characteristics. Robustness and reliability are key factors for the promotion of P/M as cost effective substitute of competing manufacturing technologies. Based on the production of four different belt pulleys, this paper presents the achievement of reduced weight scatter and close dimensional control realizable by using a $Starmix^{TM}$ that is organically bonded.
