Sintered Metal Bush

Abstract

Sintering is the process in which the green compact metal powder is subjected to heat at a temperature below the melting point of the solid metal. It is one of the two operations of powder metallurgical technology through which an ordinary shape to a complicated one can be manufactured at reasonable cost. The other operation is compacting or pressing which consists of subjecting the suitably prepared powder mixture at normal or elevated temperature to considerable pressure. The resulting powder compact is known as briquette and is said to be the form known as green.
