Sintered stainless steel parts are made using Powder Metallurgy. The process involves compacting metal powder and then heating it. According to technical definitions, sintering is when particles under pressure chemically bond to form a coherent shape when exposed to high temperature. The temperature is most commonly below the melting point of the main component in the powder. If the temperature exceeds the melting point of a component, the liquid fills the pores. This is known as liquid-state sintering.
Production relies on advanced industrial capability. The world's largest capacity of high temperature sintering supports high volume manufacturing. This capacity is applied through three primary forming technologies. These are traditional powder metallurgy press and sinter, metal injection molding, and metal binder jetting. The method chosen depends on the part's complexity and volume requirements.
Within this context, sintered stainless steel parts offer specific advantages. They combine corrosion resistance with the design flexibility and material efficiency inherent to powder metallurgy. The process creates parts with controlled porosity, which can be an asset for filtration or self-lubricating bearings. It is a practical manufacturing solution for complex geometries that would be wasteful or impossible to machine from solid bar stock.
