If you work in manufacturing, you understand the importance of carrying out effective processes using highly reliable equipment. With sintering furnaces in your facility, you’ll experience fast and efficient powder sintering, producing top-of-the-line products and components for your company.
At Gasbarre, we strive to create next-level powder metallurgy equipment that our clients trust. We’ve specialized in creating long-lasting machines that incorporate the industry’s newest technologies since our establishment in 1973.
Sintering is the bonding of adjacent powder particle surfaces in a mass of metal powders, or a compact, by heating. Also, a shaped body composed of metal powders and produced by sintering with or without prior compaction.
Other common names and related subjects are cold/hot isostatic pressing, liquid phase sintering and metal injection molding.*
Sintering furnaces are key players in the sintering process. These ovens typically apply solid-state sintering methods to convert compact powders into thermally resistant molds. To achieve this result, metal sintering furnaces maintain temperatures below the powder’s melting point to shape rather than liquefy the material. This temperature causes the substance’s powder particles to bond and form a compact crystallized mass, increasing its strength and structural integrity.
Typically, batch furnaces are most suitable for sintering low-volume products, while continuous furnaces are useful for medium- to high-volume materials.
Gasbarre specializes in the design and manufacturing of custom-engineered sintering furnaces specific to the thermal processing industry. As an industry leader in manufacturing solutions, we develop every sintering oven with quality and reliability in mind. All of our products exhibit their own innovative features, along with specialized functions fit for any manufacturing facility.
