Sintered rods are a critical innovation in the field of engineering, particularly for companies involved in manufacturing and exporting casting products. These rods are created through the sintering process which involves compacting metallic powders into a desired shape and then subjecting them to high temperatures below the melting point of the base metal. This process results in a dense, durable component with excellent dimensional precision and micro porosity, making it suitable for various industrial applications. The raw materials for sintered rods typically include pure metals like iron or copper or alloyed powders such as bronze or steel which are carefully selected based on the desired mechanical properties.
The production process begins with mixing metal powders with alloying elements and lubricants to ensure uniformity and consistency. The mixture is then compacted under high pressure using precision tooling to form a green part, which has sufficient mechanical strength for handling. This green part undergoes sintering in controlled atmospheres and specific temperatures, where solid state diffusion fuses the particles together, creating a robust structure. Post sintering operations like heat treatment, machining or surface finishing can further enhance the properties of the rods such as hardness, wear resistance or dimensional accuracy.
