About Sintering Furnace for Powder Metallurgy
Sintering Furnace for Powder Metallurgy manufactured by United Enterprises is a precision-built industrial furnace engineered for high-volume sintering of iron, copper, brass, bronze and specialty alloy powder compacts.
Brief Description:
Powder metallurgy sintering demands stable temperature, controlled reducing atmosphere and consistent belt or pusher movement to ensure repeatable density and mechanical properties. Our PM sintering furnaces are built with these process essentials in mind multi-zone heating, in-house Ammonia Cracker, Inconel-grade mesh belt or pusher trays, and SCADA-driven recipe control.
Both continuous (mesh belt / pusher) and batch type configurations are available. Maximum operating temperatures up to 1200C are routinely supplied, with electric or recuperative gas-fired heating depending on cost and capacity targets.
Applications include sintered automotive components, gear blanks, structural PM parts, oil-impregnated bushings, electrical contacts and diamond tools.

FAQs:
Q: Which sintering atmosphere is best for ferrous PM parts?
A: Cracked ammonia or endothermic gas is most widely used. The choice depends on carbon control requirements and cost.
Q: Continuous or batch for PM sintering?
A: Continuous mesh belt or pusher designs are preferred for steady high-volume production. Batch units suit small lots and R&D.
Q: Do you offer carbon-controlled sintering?
A: Yes. With endothermic gas and dew-point control, carbon potential inside the furnace can be tightly maintained.
