Abstract:
The invention concerns a method of controlling the dimensional change to a predetermined value including the steps of providing a first powder (A) consisting of an iron based powder (1) and copper in the form of elemental copper (2), or copper diffusion-bonded to the iron-based powder (3); providing a second powder (B) consisting of the iron-based powder (1) and a pre-alloyed iron-copper powder (4); mixing the first and second powder mixtures (A) and (B) in proportions resulting in the desired dimensional change adding graphite and lubricant and optionally hard phase materials and other alloying elements to the obtained mixture; compacting the obtained mixture; and sintering the compacted body.
Abstract:
A method for producing a breech slide of a firearm in a metal injection molding process. The process includes the following steps: a green body is injected in an injection mold. The green body is cooled. The binder is removed from the green body to form a brown body. Then the brown body is sintered.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for the cross-hole pressing of cutting inserts is disclosed whereby a green part is fabricated using metallurgical powder and an opening is imparted within the green part by placing the metallurgical powder about an oval-shaped core rod. Using a press with a uni-axial press motion, a core rod is placed within the cavity of a mold and metallurgical powder placed around the core rod and thereafter compressed to form a green part. The subject invention is also directed to an article formed utilizing such a process and the uni-axial press used to produce such an insert.
Abstract:
The temporary compacting of the powder for use in sintering is carried out, the temporary sintering is carried out, the main compacting is carried out, the main sintering is carried out, and the thickness of the radius direction of the base part of the cam before the heat-treatment is set to 3.0 mm or more.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for controlling coalescence of particles forming a structure subjected to a treatment designed to establish crosslinking between said particles. The method consists in recording at least a physical quantity, whereof the evolution is continuously measurable and whereto the particle crosslinking is correlated, and in stopping the treatment when said physical quantity reaches a value corresponding the desired coalescence. The invention is characterized in that it consists in measuring as said physical quantity the shrinking of said structure. The invention also concerns a method and a device for making a structure of mutually crosslinked particles using said control method and a method for obtaining a product with interconnected pores, in particular for bone substitution, using such a structure.
