A. No. Cracked component will have to be salvaged by welding or other means. Impregnation is not the solution here. Q. What is the use of impregnation for powder metallurgy or sintered components. A. Sealing of porosity prevents corrosion and fungus growth. Also , sintered components that need to undergo electroplating , must be impregnated prior to the plating operation . Further impregnation also helps to improve the machinability.
