Abstract

A method of producing powder forged components produces parts which precisely fit together, the method including the steps of: forming a one-piece preform by pressing from powder; forming at least one tear notch in the preform at a selected location; sintering the preform; providing a protective layer on each tear notch; forging the preform into a component, including closing each tear notch during the forging to form a corresponding slit; cooling the component; and separating the component at the corresponding selected location into a plurality of individual parts by breaking.
