In the previous articles, we introduced several metal parts manufacturing processes. In this post, we are going to talk about the Powder Metallurgy & MIM(Metal Injection Molding) processes. 6.1.1 Definition of Powder Metallurgy Powder metallurgy is a process technology for producing metal materials, composite materials, and
We will talk about some common metal welding processes after introducing several metal parts manufacturing methods in the previous articles. 4.1 What is Welding? Welding, also known as fusion welding, is a manufacturing process and technology that joins metals or other thermoplastic materials such as plastics by
In the previous articles, we introduced several metal parts manufacturing processes. In this post, we are going to talk about the metal mechanical machining processes. 3.1 What is Mechanical Machining? Mechanical machining is a process of directly cutting off excess metal thickness on the blank with cutting
In this post, Part 3, we will continue introducing the plastic forming processes - Stamping and deep-drawing processes for sheet metals. 2.4 Metal Drawing Process 2.4.1 Definition of Metal Drawing Process Applying external force to the front end of the metal billet, which will
In Part 1, we described different kinds of metal casting methods. And in this post, Part 2, let's talk about another kind of metal parts manufacturing process, different types of plastic forming methods. Plastic forming, also known as plastic deformation, is a forming process in which metal materials undergo plastic deformation
Material forming method is an important aspect of metal part design, a crucial factor in the manufacturing process, and a matter of great concern for manufacturers. Today, we will take a look at various metal-forming processes. Metal Casting 1.1 What is a casting process? The production
A fire-resistant ceramic material is placed over the surface of the wax pattern to form a shell, and once it hardens, the inside of the shell forms the shape of the desired casting. The wax is then thawed and drained out from the shell, and the cavity is going to be filled
Sand casting, investment casting (lost wax casting), and pressure casting are three of the most popular and widely used casting methods. Most metal casting parts commonly used in various industries are made by one of these three processes. This article will introduce these three most common casting processes one by one.
The Difference between cast steel and cast iron Cast iron and cast steel are both iron-carbon alloys. However, cast steel and cast iron have different metallurgical structures after crystallization due to the different percentages of chemical elements such as carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. Generally, in actual work, we call iron when
The sand casting process is a casting method in which sand is the primary modeling material used to prepare the mold. And it is a traditional casting method. We can refer to the definition of sand casting through Wikipedia. Due to the advantages of not being limited by the shape, size, complexity, and alloy
