Rotational sintering process

The rotational sintering process is an important process in surface technology that is used in various industrial applications. It belongs to the category of powder metallurgy and is used to create specific surface structures and properties.

In this process, powdered metals or metal alloys are filled into a special mold, which is then placed in a rotating furnace. During the rotation process, the powder particles are evenly compacted by centrifugal force and take on the shape of the mold. This process results in a homogeneous structure and enables the creation of porous or sponge-like surfaces.

The advantages of the rotational sintering process lie in the precise control of the porosity, density and microstructure of the sintered material. This makes it possible to produce customized surfaces with specific properties such as high surface roughness, improved frictional properties or specific filtration properties.

In surface technology, the rotational sintering process is frequently used for the production of components in various industries. Examples include porous filters, bearing bushes, structural components for the automotive and aerospace industries and components for medical devices.

By adjusting the process parameters, the rotational sintering process can be tailored to the specific requirements and desired properties of the end application. This enables the precise and efficient production of surfaces with a wide range of functionalities and applications.
