Driven by the "dual carbon" goal, the powder metallurgy industry has accelerated the green transformation, and low-energy consumption and low-pollution processes have become the mainstream of the industry.The reporter learned from the China Powder Metallurgy Industry Association that in the first half of 2025, the proportion of domestic powder metallurgy enterprises above the scale that adopted low-energy consumption technologies such as "low-temperature sintering" and "microwave sintering" has exceeded 60%, an increase of 35 percentage points compared with 2020. Among them, microwave sintering technology can reduce sintering energy consumption by 40% and carbon dioxide emissions by 30% in the production process; the "recycling sintering atmosphere" technology developed by an enterprise can increase the recovery rate of protective gases such as nitrogen and hydrogen to 95%, reducing the cost of gas consumption by more than 10 million yuan per year. The person in charge of the association said that the formulation of green process standards will be further promoted in the future to help the industry achieve the goal of carbon peaking.
