New Powder Metallurgy Industry Roadmap Released
The Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) has announced the release of the 2023 PM Industry Roadmap. Key technology developments and example applications are identified for each of the four main categories of PM processes: press & sinter; metal injection molding (MIM); metal additive manufacturing (AM); and isostatic pressing. This update also reviews the achievements made by the PM industry from 2017–2022 and features interactive links to award-winning PM components.
Tooth Root Load Capacity of Additive Manufactured Gears
Due to near-net shape production, additive-manufactured (AM) gears have a high potential to decrease costs and increase resource efficiency. The decreasing product life cycles as well as the increasing individualization of components demand high flexibility in manufacturing processes. The production of powder metal (PM) gears by die pressing is only economical for large batch sizes or in series production due to the plant technology. An advantage of PM produced gears is the component density that can be adjusted through the sintering process compared to conventional machining. The porosity is accompanied by a reduction in weight and possible optimization of the noise vibration harshness (NVH) behavior of the gears. Due to the expected future shift of the automotive industry from combustion engines to electrified powertrains, the optimization of the noise behavior of transmission components is becoming increasingly important.

Low Pressure Carburizing of Gears
Solar Atmospheres provides low pressure carburizing (LPC) that significantly increases the surface hardness/strength of steel parts for improved friction and wear. Performing LPC in a vacuum furnace eliminates oxygen and prevents IGO (intergranular oxidation) that is inherent in atmospheric carburizing, resulting in clean parts with less distortion reducing post process finishing operations, and costs.

3-chamber vacuum furnace w/oil quench doubles throughput
Demanding heat treat processes require high metallurgical quality and repeatability, attributes that are best achieved in vacuum. Oil quenching permits fast, uniform quenching of dense loads, improving productivity. CaseMaster Evolution® T-Type from SECO/VACUUM does both, and with a 3rd chamber for loading/preheating, it can double LPC throughput.
