Origin of powder metallurgy development in the metal industry

Three thousand years ago, our ancestors had used powder metallurgy method in the manufacture of iron. Then in modern society, powder metallurgy process be improved gradually. How do they develop? We can see from the following three perspectives.

First, the development of modern powder metallurgy technology effectively prevented from  problems in refractory metal casting process. For example, tungsten lamp appears resulting in a very good role in development of powder metallurgy in the last century. Then, there has been cemented carbide powder metallurgy, which known as a machining revolution at that time by lot of people in the industry,.

Secondly, in the 30s porous oil-bearing has been successfully taken out and then promote the development of iron-based parts, powder metallurgy cutting advantage of small or even no play dripping wet is delicate.

With subsequent emergence and development of new materials and new technology, powder metallurgy has been pushed to another climax. At about 40s, metal ceramic and  dispersion strengthening materials appeared. When in the 60s and 70s, the powder high speed steel and super alloy also came into being accordingly. For many high-strength parts, powder metallurgy, forging and HIP technology can achieved.

Iron-based powder metallurgy and alloy powder metallurgy production process different?

Iron-based powder is an iron-based powder metallurgy, carbide-based powder is WC, TIC and other production processes are basically the same, the mixed powder - molding - sintering - after the order processing - inspection - package but will not process parameters same.

   

Iron-based plastic in order to reach a certain size requirements or face type requires additional steps, because the springback forming great iron-based products, general product after forming the outer diameter of the sintered dimensional change is large. The same batch, the inner diameter size, or height do not necessarily meet the requirements of the final product, and then design process by shaping to size and height requirements. general requirements for tight tolerance products.

   

Mixed powder and powder particle major size and shape and other relevant. There is alloying elements and a lubricant and a binder.

   

Molding is press tonnage, mold design, and other related.

   

Sintering is the relevant process parameters sintering temperature, sintering time and sintering atmosphere was like.

   

Then that some post-processing. Machining, heat treatment (quenching and tempering), surface carburizing.

Metal Injection Molding MIM process

Metal Injection Molding MIM process uses micron fine powder, both to accelerate the sintering shrinkage, help to improve the mechanical properties of the material, to extend the fatigue life of the material, but also improve resistance, resistance to stress corrosion and magnetic properties. Powder injection molding industry worldwide is currently still small-scale, but the economic crisis has not been greatly affected almost, but steadily.

FIRECRACKER CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Author: Little Spice Jar

Prep time:  5 mins Cook time:  25 mins Total time:  30 mins

Serves: 18-22 meatballs

This is my favorite way to eat chicken meatballs. They're spiced up with a sweet, savory, and spicy firecracker sauce. They're tender, filled with flavor, and require minimum work!

INGREDIENTS

Meatballs:

1 ¾ - 2 pounds ground chicken (or turkey)

4 teaspoons minced garlic

1 ½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

2 large eggs

1 cup Panko breadcrumbs*

½ teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

FIRECRACKER SAUCE:

½ cup hot sauce (I recommend Franks)

1 cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

¼ teaspoon salt

¼-½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (depending on spice preference)

INSTRUCTIONS

Position 2 racks near the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 475ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.

In a saucepan, combine the ingredients of the firecracker sauce over medium high heat, allow to come to a boil, reduce the heat so it simmers. Let simmer for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool. The sauce will thicken as it cools so don't worry if it looks thin.

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, garlic, salt pepper, eggs, panko, paprika, and onion powder. Use your hands to mix all the ingredients together. It's easier to tell when he ingredients are combined when using hands. DO NOT OVERMIX, it will result in drier meatballs.

Shape the meat mixture into ball, about 3 tablespoons of meat per ball. You can also do this with an ice cream scoop. Place shaped meatballs on prepared baking sheet. bake for 11-13 minutes or until the meatballs are completely cooked.

Using 2 tablespoon, dip each individual meatball into the sauce. Alternately, you can brush each meatball with the sauce. Place back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 1-2 minutes. Drizzle or brush with additional sauce as desired.

MARZIA'S NOTES

Panko is a Japenese style of breadcrumbs.

A combination of ground chicken and turkey can be used to make these meatballs.

If you would like to serve your meatballs with sauce, I would double the ingredients for the sauce portion as this recipe makes just enough for basting.

Introduction for Shenzhen MIM Injection Molding Carbide

About introduction for Shenzhen MIM injection molding carbide  :  since the early 1920s invented by a German scientist, with name "widia" (like diamond) on market, carbide achieved widely application in industries as the first production of tungsten tensile mould and replaced expensive diamond tensile mould.
