Sizing

Sizing involves reduction or increase in the dimensions of the component, and this action is performed by forcing the component into a die or over a core
• Hardness of the part to be sized should not exceed HV 180 after sintering
• Wherever possible, the various surfaces of the part should be sized progressively and not simultaneously
• The external forms should be sized before the holes in order to prevent cracking

Conclusion: Principle, Advantages and Limits of P/M Technology
Advantages of P/M
Technology
– Low Costs at Series Production
– High Quality at Series
Production
– Net-Shape Technology
– Extensive Alloying Possibilities
– Weight Reduction Because of
Porosity
– 100% Raw Material Utilisation
– Low Energy Consumption
– Freedom in Profile Design
Limits of P/M Technology
– Density Dependent Properties
– Undercuts, Cross Holes and
Thread not Producible by
Pressing
– Maximum Weight of Component
1 kg
