Laser particle size analyzer in the powder metallurgy applications and future trends
Powder metallurgy is used as a raw material, the metal powder (or a mixture of metal powder and nonmetal powder) After molding and sintering, the manufacturing technology of metallic materials, composites and various types of articles.
Metallic powder raw materials mainly inclpowder metalude a powder of iron, tungsten, molybdenum, copper, cobalt, nickel, titanium, tantalum, aluminum, tin, lead, manganese, etc., the proportion of about more than 2/3 of the total metal powder production. Also includes the related compounds of the above metal powder and the like.
The granularity of these metal powders directly affect the processing of the powder molding, the shrinkage during sintering and the final properties of the product. The performance of certain powder metallurgy products is almost directly related to and granularity, e.g., the filtration accuracy of the filter material is divided by 10 is obtained by the average particle size of the original powder particles experience; the carbide product performance and wc phase grains have very great relationship, to get a finer grain carbide only be possible to adopt a more fine-grained wc raw.
Part of the metal powder manufacturers to improve the market competitiveness, now many domestic laser particle size analyzer to detect the particle size distribution, improving the production process, and gradually improve the quality of the products, expand product market share, some companies due to improvement of product quality has begun to replace the foreign material suppliers. In addition, some manufacturers use raw materials is required particle size control, but the enterprise in order to save costs, the metal powder production or purchase of raw materials, hardly any detection, product quality has been hovering in the low end of the state of the industry, as the industry the continuous development of this part of the business is bound to be a merger or eliminated.
By constantly introducing advanced foreign technology and developing and providing innovative combination of powder metallurgy industry and technology has emerged as a trend of rapid development, is one of the fastest growing industries in the China Genesintered metalral Machine Components Industry annual National Powder Metallurgy industry output value rate of 35% annually. Global manufacturing is accelerating the transfer to China, the rapid development of the automotive industry, machinery manufacturing, metal industry, aerospace, instrumentation, hardware tools, construction machinery, electronic appliances and high-tech industries such as powder metallurgy industry has brought a rare development opportunities and a huge market space. In addition, the powder metallurgy industry has been China's inclusion on the priority to the development and encouragement of foreign investment projects. Therefore, the development prospects of the powder metallurgy industry.
