A method for producing a sintered part, having at least the following steps: a) providing a sintered part, said sintered part having a first end face, a second end face arranged at a distance from the first end face in an axial direction, and a circumferential surface between the end faces; b) arranging the sintered part in a tool; c) applying a first pressure force, which acts on the end faces at least in the axial direction, to the sintered part by means of the tool; and d) applying a second pressure force, which acts on the circumferential surface at least in a radial direction, to the sintered part, wherein the sintered part is reshaped at least by the second pressure force, or mechanically processing the sintered part. Steps c) and d) are carried out at least partly simultaneously.

Method for producing a sintered part

The present invention relates to a punch unit of a powder press, wherein the punch unit is assembled from at least two parts, in this case comprising a headpiece as the first part and a widening region, adjoining the headpiece, as the second part, wherein the widening region flares to a diameter of a punch bolder which is directly attachable to an end, located away from the headpiece, of the widening region. Furthermore, punch units of a powder press that slide one inside another, a powder press itself and a method for operating a powder press are proposed.
