The Technomet Process
|
 |
| 1) MIXING - High purity metal powders are carefully weighed and thoroughly mixed into homogeneous blending of correct proportions |
 |
| 2) COMPACTING - The blended powders are then fed into precision dies and compressed by a lower and upper punch into desired shape and size. Pressures exerted range from 15 to 50 tons per square inch. |
 |
| 3) SINTERING - At 770c to 1150c from 30 minutes to 2 hours controlled atmosphere furnaces transforms briquettes into strong units |
 |
| 4) SIZING - sizing or coining consists of pressing the sintered parts in accurate dies to obtain precision finish dimensions, higher densities and smoother surface finishes. |
 |
| 5) OIL IMPREGNATION - Oilless B/R units are vacuum-impregnated to attain complete saturation, using the highest-quality lubricants. |
 |
| 6) INSPECTION - Careful quality control procedures are employed throughout in each process by critical inspection |
