汽車產業需求不斷成長
隨著提高燃油效率和減少排放的壓力越來越大,汽車製造商正在轉向輕質材料。粉末冶金提供高強度、高精度的輕量零件,有助於減輕車輛整體重量。例如,根據美國能源部的數據,到 2030 年,由於採用了可實現輕質零件和高效引擎的先進材料,美國四分之一的車隊每年可節省超過 50 億加侖的燃料。粉末冶金廣泛應用於引擎和變速箱齒輪的生產。永磁齒輪具有高強度、耐磨性和尺寸精度,使其適合要求嚴格的應用。例如,Amsted Automotive 在 2024 年 5 月的 CTI 研討會上展示了對動力系統開發至關重要的尖端創新。該公司的展覽突顯了其三個主要業務部門 Means Industries、Burgess-Norton 和 Transform Automotive 的優勢。在整個活動中,伯吉斯諾頓展示了其廣受好評的粉末金屬技術在許多應用中的應用,例如齒輪、凹口板和凹口板、鏈輪、凸輪板等。粉末冶金為汽車零件生產提供了經濟高效的解決方案。 PM 工藝,包括 3D 列印中的金屬注射成型 (MIM) 和粉末床熔合 (PBF),與傳統製造方法相比,材料浪費顯著減少。這是因為粉末冶金工藝通常從細金屬粉末開始,這些粉末被精確成型為最終零件。這最大限度地減少了材料浪費並降低了整體生產成本。 2023 年 11 月,IIT-Mandi 的研究人員發現,與其他金屬 3D 列印方法相比,基於擠壓的金屬積層製造流程是最優越且最具成本效益的方法。金屬積層製造 (metal AM) 使用薄金屬粉末,透過電腦輔助設計 (CAD) 軟體或 3D 掃描來製造堅固、複雜的組件。這些因素進一步提振了粉末冶金市場的收入。
積層製造的日益普及
積層製造 (AM),特別是 3D 列印形式,是粉末冶金 (PM) 市場成長的重要動力。 3D 列印可以創造傳統製造方法難以或不可能實現的複雜幾何形狀。這對粉末冶金來說特別有利,因為它能夠生產複雜的形狀和內部結構,而不需要專門的工具或組裝。因此,製造商可以創建高度最佳化的組件,提高效能和功能。例如,2024 年 2 月,Volkmann 推出了 PowTReX 基礎金屬粉末再處理系統,讓添加劑製造商回收粉末以便再利用。它旨在支援粉末金屬 3D 列印機用戶。此外,積層製造可以在金屬零件內創建複雜的晶格結構,提供高強度重量比和客製化的機械性能。粉末冶金提供用於創建這些晶格結構的金屬粉末,為輕量化和設計最佳化提供了機會。例如,2024 年 2 月,澳洲皇家墨爾本理工大學的研究人員創造了一種由 Ti-6Al-4V 鈦積層製造的新型超材料。這種不尋常的晶格結構具有非常高的強度重量比,有可能惠及廣泛的應用,包括醫療植入物和飛機或火箭零件。研究人員設計了一種空心管狀晶格結構,其內部有一條細帶,使用雷射光束粉體熔化成型製造。這些因素對粉末冶金市場預測有正面影響。
提高航太領域的使用率
航空航太業不斷成長的需求是推動市場成長的重要因素之一。航太製造商不斷尋求減輕飛機重量的方法,以提高燃油效率並降低營運成本。粉末冶金提供具有高強度重量比的輕質零件,使其成為航空航太應用的理想選擇。粉末冶金零件有助於減輕飛機的整體重量,從而節省燃料並降低排放。例如,2023 年11 月,世界主要鋼鐵公司之一安賽樂米塔爾公司(ArcelorMittal SA) 宣佈在西班牙阿維萊斯開發工業規模霧化器,為各種積層製造技術生產鋼粉,包括航空航太、國防、汽車等、醫療和能源。此外,他們還成立了一家新公司 ArcelorMittal Powders,將其金屬粉末商業化,重點關注雷射光束粉體熔化成型(PBF-LB)、黏著劑噴塗成型(BJT) 和定向能量沉積(DED) 積層製造技術。此外,粉末冶金可以開發和生產適合航空航太應用的先進材料和合金。這些材料可以承受航空航太作業中遇到的高溫、極端壓力和惡劣環境。粉末冶金技術能夠將鈦、鎳和鋁等元素融入合金中,創造出具有航空航太零件所需的卓越性能的材料。例如,根據國家醫學圖書館 2023 年發表的文章,粉末冶金是一種通用且常用的製造複合材料的方法。近年來,Cu-TiO2 複合材料因其在航空航太、電氣和生物醫學等多個領域的潛在用途而變得重要。採用此製程製備 Cu-TiO2(二氧化鈦)複合材料的主要優點包括能夠控制複合材料的微觀結構、低成本和高效率。在飛機工業中,複合材料可用於製造渦輪葉片等需要高強度和耐磨性的零件。這些因素進一步提升了粉末冶金市場佔有率。

Rising Demand from the Automotive Industry
With increasing pressure to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, automotive manufacturers are turning to lightweight materials. Powder metallurgy offers lightweight components with high strength and precision, contributing to overall vehicle weight reduction. For instance, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, by 2030, one-fourth of the U.S. vehicular fleet could save over 5 billion gallons of fuel yearly due to advanced materials that enable lightweight components and high-efficiency engines. Powder metallurgy is widely used in the production of gears for engines and transmissions. PM gears offer high strength, wear resistance, and dimensional accuracy, making them suitable for demanding applications. For instance, Amsted Automotive presented cutting-edge innovations that are essential for the development of powertrains in May 2024, at the CTI Symposium. The company's exhibit highlighted the strengths of Means Industries, Burgess-Norton, and Transform Automotive, its three main business divisions. Throughout the event, Burgess-Norton showcased its acclaimed powder metal technology in a number of applications, such as gears, pocket and notch plates, sprockets, cam plates, and more. Powder metallurgy offers cost-effective solutions for automotive parts production. PM processes, including metal injection molding (MIM) and powder bed fusion (PBF) in 3D printing, have significantly lower material waste compared to traditional manufacturing methods. This is because PM processes typically start with fine metal powders, which are precisely shaped into the final part. This minimizes material waste and reduces the overall cost of production. In November 2023, researchers at IIT-Mandi discovered that the extrusion-based metal additive manufacturing process is the most superior and cost-effective way when compared to other approaches to metal 3D printing. Metal additive manufacturing (metal AM) uses thin metal powders to create strong, complicated components using computer-aided design (CAD) software or 3D scanning. These factors are further bolstering the powder metallurgy market revenue.
Growing Adoption of Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM), particularly in the form of 3D printing, is a significant driver of growth in the powder metallurgy (PM) market. 3D printing allows for the creation of complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. This is particularly advantageous for powder metallurgy, as it enables the production of intricate shapes and internal structures without the need for specialized tooling or assembly. As a result, manufacturers can create highly optimized components with improved performance and functionality. For instance, in February 2024, Volkmann launched the PowTReX basic metal powder reprocessing system, that allows additive manufacturers to recover powder for reuse. It aims to support powder-based metal 3D printer users. Moreover, additive manufacturing allows for the creation of intricate lattice structures within metal parts, providing high strength-to-weight ratios and customized mechanical properties. Powder metallurgy supplies the metal powders used to create these lattice structures, offering opportunities for lightweighting and design optimization. For instance, in February 2024, researchers from RMIT University in Australia created a novel type of metamaterial made additively from Ti-6Al-4V titanium. The unusual lattice structures, with very high strength-to-weight ratios, have the potential to benefit a wide range of applications, including medical implants and aircraft or rocket parts. The researchers designed a hollow tubular lattice structure with a thin band running inside it manufactured using Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion. These factors are positively influencing the powder metallurgy market forecast.
Increasing Utilization in the Aerospace Sector
The escalating demand in the aerospace industry is one of the prominent factors adding to the market growth. Aerospace manufacturers are constantly seeking ways to reduce aircraft weight to improve fuel efficiency and reduce operating costs. Powder metallurgy offers lightweight components with high strength-to-weight ratios, making it ideal for aerospace applications. PM components contribute to the overall weight reduction of aircraft, leading to fuel savings and lower emissions. For instance, in November 2023, ArcelorMittal SA, one of the world's major steel firms, announced the development of an industrial-scale atomizer in Aviles, Spain, to create steel powders for a variety of additive manufacturing technologies, including aerospace, defense, automotive, medical, and energy. Moreover, they formed a new company, ArcelorMittal Powders, to commercialize its metal powders, with a focus on Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB), Binder Jetting (BJT), and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) AM technologies. In addition, powder metallurgy allows for the development and production of advanced materials and alloys tailored for aerospace applications. These materials can withstand high temperatures, extreme pressures, and harsh environments encountered in aerospace operations. PM techniques enable the incorporation of elements like titanium, nickel, and aluminum into alloys, creating materials with exceptional properties required for aerospace components. For instance, according to the article published by the National Library of Medicine in 2023, powder metallurgy is a versatile and commonly utilized method of creating composite materials. Cu-TiO2 composites gained significance in recent years due to its prospective uses in a variety of areas, including aerospace, electrical, and biomedicine. The key benefits of employing this process to prepare Cu-TiO2 (titanium dioxide) composites include the ability to control the composite's microstructure, low cost, and high efficiency. In the aircraft industry, composite materials can be utilized to make components like turbine blades, which require high strength and wear resistance. These factors are further contributing to the powder metallurgy market share.
