Whirl sintering
Whirl sintering with powder coating is an advanced process in powder metallurgy that combines the advantages of whirl sintering with an additional coating layer. In this process, fine powders are brought through a rotating vortex movement in a reactor, whereby heat and pressure create a homogeneous workpiece. The innovation is that a powder coating is applied after the whirl sintering process.
The powder coating serves various purposes, including protection against corrosion, improving surface properties and achieving specific optical or functional properties. Whirl sintering effectively fuses the coating to the base material, resulting in a durable and uniform coating.
This process is widely used in industries such as the automotive industry, where components with high mechanical strength and a durable surface are required. The combination of fluidized bed sintering and powder coating enables the production of components with improved properties, resulting in durable and high-quality end products. It therefore represents a significant step in the development of advanced manufacturing technologies.
