Özet
Inthis study, pure aluminum (Al) powder metal (PM) compacts are sinteredconventional or induction systems. PM compacts are sintered by furnace at 600 °Cin 60 minutes in the conventional sintering process. In the other process, PMcompacts are sintered by induction system at seven different sinteringtemperatures from 550°C to 610°Cin 4 minutes. 2.8 kW, 900 kHz ultra-high frequency induction system (UHFIS)used for heating application of induction sintering process. Densities andhardness values are investigated for both processes. During these sinteringprocesses, all energy consumption results are measured and calculated, thancompared with each other. The effects of the sintering time increase in theinduction sintering process on energy cost have been analyzed. Optimumsintering temperature of the induction sintering process is determined. It hasbeen seen that the cheaper energy cost is obtained by the induction system forsintering application.
