Abstract: The invention refers to a new method for preparing sintered structural parts of carbon or tool steels or high speed steel having a carbon content of up to 2% by weight, wherein an agglomerated spherical powder comprising at least 0.5% of a thermo-reversible hydrocolloid is pressed to a green body of high density which is then heated at 450–650° C. to remove the non-carbon content of the hydrocolloid and subsequently sintered at about 1100–1400° C. to structural parts having high strength properties.
Abstract: The present invention concern a method using powder metallurgy for producing molded parts intended to be assembled by self-brazing to metal parts capable of receiving them and said receiving parts. The method comprises forming a homogenous mixture of a basic metal powder, brazing powder and a liquid binding agent which is injection molded to form a self-brazing part.

Abstract: The invention refers to a process for compressing a spherical metal powder, agglomerated with at least 0.5% by weight of a thermo-reversible hydrocolloid as a binder, in a uniaxial press operation with a ram speed of over 2 m/s to a green body having a high density. More particularly the invention also refers to a process for sintering said green bodies to products with full or near full density. The products obtained can be high resistant, high strength details or parts of stainless steel or other alloys.

Abstract: A method for injection molding a material consisting of a suspension of particles. The suspension of particles moves through convergent passages in an obturator and an injection channel so that the particles remain in suspension. The press has a head in which a portion of the feed channel and a portion of the injection channel, when the channel is open, is formed by a passage in an externally controlled obturator, the controlled obturator for the feed channel and the one for the injection channel being one and the same or adjacent, and disposed close to the injection orifice.
