Design Consideration for Powder Metallurgy

2. ๏The shape of the compact must be kept as simple and
uniform as possible.
๏Provision must be made for ejection of the green
compact without damaging the compact.
๏P/M parts should be made with the widest acceptable
tolerances to maximize tool life.
๏Part walls should not be less than 1.5 mm thick;
thinner walls can be achieved on small parts; walls
with length to thickness ratios above 8:1 are difficult to
press.

3. โขSteps in parts can be produced if they are simple and their size
doesnโt exceed 15% of the overall part length.
โขLetters can be pressed if oriented perpendicular to the pressing
direction. Raised letters are more susceptible to damage in the
green stage and prevent stacking.
โขFlanges or overhangs can be produced by a step in the die.
โข A true radius cannot be pressed; instead use a chamfer.
โขDimensional tolerances are on the order of ยฑ0.05 to 0.1 mm.
Tolerances improve significantly with additional operations such
as sizing, machining and grinding.

7. ๏ Thin walls and projections create fragile tooling.
๏ Holes in pressing direction can be round, square,
D-shaped, keyed, splined or any straight-through
shape.
๏ Draft is generally not required.
๏ Generous radii and fillets are desirable to extend
tool life.
๏ Chamfers, rather the radii, are necessary on part
edges to prevent burring.
๏ Flats are necessary on chamfers to eliminate
feather-edges on tools, which break easily.

8. ๏Basic rules for the design of P/M parts
โ Shape of the part must permit ejection from die
โ Powder should not be required to flow into small cavities
โ The shape of the part should permit the construction of strong
tooling
โ The thickness of the part should be within the range for which
P/M parts can be adequately compacted
โ The part should be designed with as few changes in section
thickness as possible

9. ๏Parts can be designed to take advantage of the
fact that certain forms and properties can be
produced by P/M that are impossible, impractical, or
uneconomical by any other method
๏The design should be consistent with available
equipment
๏Consideration should be made for product
tolerances
๏Design should consider and compensate for
dimensional changes that will occur after pressing

11. Financial Considerations
๏ Die design
๏ must withstand 700 MPa, requiring specialty designs.
๏ Can be very automated
๏1500 parts per hour not uncommon for average size part
๏60,000 parts per hour achievable for small, low complexity parts in
a rolling press.
๏ Typical size part for automation is 1โ cube
๏ โ Larger parts may require special machines (larger surface area, same
pressure equals larger forces involved)
