Powdered Metallurgy Lock Part
Powdered metallurgy lock parts refer to various lock parts produced using powder metallurgy processes, which are a subset of powder metallurgy products. They are made from metal powders (such as iron, copper, stainless steel, etc.) through steps like material mixing, pressing, high-temperature sintering, and post-finishing, and are widely used in mechanical locks, smart locks, and other types of locking mechanisms.
- Product Introduction
Materials can be customized
Iron based materials
Characteristics:
• High strength and hardness: The tensile strength can reach 300-1200MPa, and the surface hardness can be increased to HRC55 or above through heat treatment .
