Sintered steel components are manufactured by compacting and then sintering metallic steel powder to the shape of the desired component. Sinter hardened steel has an apparent hardness of up to 45 HRC and particle hardness up to 57 HRC. The sintering process is used to manufacture complex shapes such as frontal geometries, splines, gear teeth, and other complex profiles. Sintered steel is generally used to manufacture machine components that are exposed to high temperatures and corrosive work environments.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The process involved in manufacturing sintered steel components is green as the energy expended in manufacturing is low, and the waste material generated is negligible making the use of sintered steel lucrative in the automotive and aerospace industry. Also sintered steel components are up to 25% lighter in weight as compared to wrought iron components manufactured by conventional machining processes. The light weight of sintered components can be attributed to its internal micro-porosity. The use of sintered steel to manufacture a wide variety of automotive components such as engine drive gears, belt pulleys, chain sprockets, sensor boss, bearing caps etc. is expected to drive the global sintered steel market in the forecast period. However, sintered metal components have low ductility and hence the applications of sintered steel are limited, which can be a major factor acting as an impediment to the growth of the global sintered steel market.
