Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sintered body manufacturing apparatus includes a compacting apparatus configured to press a raw powder containing a metal powder into a green compact, a machining apparatus configured to perform a cutting operation on the green compact to produce an unsintered materials, and a green compact conveying path configured to connect the compacting apparatus in series to the machining apparatus to convey green compacts one by one from the compacting apparatus to the machining apparatus.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A sintered body manufacturing method comprising: a compacting step of pressing a raw powder containing a metal powder into a green compact with a compacting apparatus; a machining step of performing a cutting operation on the green compact to produce an unsintered machined compact with a machining apparatus, wherein the compacting step and the machining step are carried out in an in-line manner, and wherein a green compact conveying path configured to connect the compacting apparatus in series to the machining apparatus to convey green compacts one by one from the compacting apparatus to the machining apparatus, and a standby stage disposed between the green compact conveying path and the machining apparatus, the sintered body manufacturing method further comprising: temporarily keeping the green compact on the standby stage before the green compact on the green compact conveying path is moved to the machining apparatus and temporarily keeping the unsintered machined compact on the standby stage before the unsintered machined compact on the machining apparatus is transferred to a sintering furnace; and holding and transferring the green compact on the green compact conveying path to the standby stage, and holding and transferring the unsintered machined compact on the standby stage to the sintering furnace.
