QUALITY SUMMARYQuality overview

Tongcheng manages every stage from alloy raw materials and atomized powder production to sieving and blending, sampling and testing, packaging and release, and batch traceability.

QUALITY CONTROL

Engineering focus: Quality control for stainless steel powder

Review the material, particle-size, process and validation factors that matter for this application.

Control itemsKey considerationsRelationship with customer production
Before productionConfirm grade, ingredients, target particle size and order requirements

Clear production input is the starting point for batch management.

in productionManage melt atomization, collection, sieving and blending

Critical process changes are reflected in the powder state.

Before shipmentSampling, testing, packaging, labeling and release

Correspond delivery batches to inspection and order information.

01

Production process quality control

Starting from raw materials and proportions, the key links of melting, atomization, powder collection, sieving, mixing and packaging are managed.

02

Powder testing items

With particle size analysis as the core, we focus on chemical composition, impurities, density, flowability and related items required by customers based on products and processes.

03

Batch and shipment management

Connect powder products to production and customer usage through sampling, retention, batch identification, packaging information and shipping records.

QUALITY DIRECTORY

Powder testing, quality control and batch traceability

Enter quality topics from particle size, composition, interstitial elements, density, flow, sintering results and batch records.

01Stainless steel powder particle-size analysis

Stainless Steel Powder D10, D50, D90 Particle Size Analysis

Use D10, D50, D90 and the full particle-size distribution curve to compare the fine fraction, median size, coarse tail and distribution width of stainless steel powders.

03Stainless steel powder batch traceability

Stainless steel powder batch traceability and production management

Tongcheng connects raw materials, powder production, sieving and blending, sampling and testing, packaging, shipping and customer feedback through batch numbers.

04Chemical composition of stainless steel powder

Confirmation of chemical composition and grade of stainless steel powder

The chemical composition determines the identity and performance basis of the material; when purchasing, the grade standard, product specification range, typical values and specific batch testing values should be distinguished.

05Stainless Steel Powder Oxygen Nitrogen Carbon

Why do you need to pay attention to the oxygen, nitrogen and carbon content?

Oxygen, nitrogen and carbon are related to the powder surface, debinding, sintering atmosphere, phase composition and final performance, and should be evaluated according to the specific grade, process and specifications of both parties.

06Apparent and tap density

apparent density and tapped density of stainless steel powder

Apparent density describes how powder packs when freely poured under specified conditions; tap density describes packing after vibration. Interpret both with particle size, morphology and test method.

07Stainless steel powder flowability testing

Hall and Carney Powder Flow Test

Hall and Carney funnels address metal powders with different flow behavior. Interpret their results separately from actual powder feeding, feedstock rheology and die or cavity filling.

08Sintered Density and Dimensional Shrinkage

Sintering density, shrinkage and part performance evaluation

The sintering density and dimensional shrinkage need to be evaluated under the specified conditions of forming, debinding, sintering and heat treatment, and cannot be compared apart from the specimen and process status.
