Cutting processing for powder metallurgy (P/M) parts
Powder metallurgy (P/M) is a technology that utilizes the pressing and sintering of metal powders to make parts and components with predetermined shapes and sizes. It has high production efficiency, low cost, high quality and good performance, which makes it widely used in the production of structural components in various industries such as automobiles, industrial, and medical equipment. In order to meet the needs of different industries, it is necessary to use CNC cutting processing for the powder metallurgy parts. Due to its complex shape and texture of surface, cutting for the powder metallurgy components is more difficult than traditional machining.
First of all, blades and cutting tools used for cutting powder metallurgy components should have a good cutting effect while ensuring that they are durable and long lasting, so that they can perform better in external environments such as temperature, pressure, and several types of materials that come in the way. In addition, it is also important to choose the right tip angle and cutting force for the powder metallurgy components to ensure the highest degree of accuracy.
Secondly, when machining powder metallurgy components, CNC cutting is required to ensure that the precision requirements are met. CNC cutting not only ensures the accuracy of the machining process but also allows for quick and efficient cutting. In addition, CNC cutting also allows for flexibility in choice of cutting parameters such as feed rate, spindle speed and tool path. In addition, CNC cutting also reduces the time and effort required for polishing the surface of the part.
Finally, it is important to choose the right cutting fluid for powder metallurgy components. Cutting fluids reduce friction and heat during machining, thus improving the cutting performance of the tool. It also increases the durability of the tool and reduces wear damage. In addition, lubricating cutting fluids also reduce built-up edges and chips, reducing the need for frequent tool changes.
In conclusion, due to the complex shape and texture of the powder metallurgy components, careful consideration should be given when cutting them. It is important to use the right cutting tools and cutting fluids, as well as CNC cutting technology to ensure precise and efficient machining. With the right cutting process and materials, it is possible to achieve high-precision machining in an accurate and cost effective way.
