Powder Metal Design Guidelines
Powder Metal Design Guidelines
(OP)
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know of a web resource on Sintered part design?
I am particularly interested in height to wall thickness ratios....basically how thin can I have a wall for a given height.
I believe that there are difficulties in filling the cavity and in the transference of the compacting pressure. Unfortunately I have found difficult to get any literature on this subject.
Thanks in advance!

There may be information of interest to you at GKN Sinter Metals' Powder Metals (P/M) University (www.gknsintermetals.com/index.cfm/fa/hm.home/sec/8/y/in...).

Remember this rule, Thickness => 1/6 Height.
For gear teeth, modulus must be =>0.3
