Abstract

As is common in the production industry, the produced components are physically separated from their related information. Inherently stored specific data in a component facilitates its identification, processing and reproduction during its lifecycle. Powder metallurgy, in particular, offers great potentials in realizing this concept. Developing a method to manufacture and utilize sintered parts with inherent data is one of the main incentives of the Collaborative Research Centre 653 "Gentelligent Components in Their Lifecycle". The term "gentelligent" refers to the genetic and intelligent character of these components, as they carry the essential information about their properties. Foreign material, which functions as a data carrier, in particle or powder form is embedded in the part body prior to the consolidation and sintering process. The information readout is based on radiographie methods. The research presented focuses on the manufacturing methods and the impact of the embedded foreign materials on the mechanical properties of the part.
