Powder Metallurgy Technology

Powder Metallurgy (PM) is an effective and competitive metal working technology. Applying unique materials, inventive techniques, and creative geometries enable engineers to reduce total manufacturing costs.

The PM process is a minimal waste process offering unique sustainability. With these benefits combined, competing processes cannot match PM. 

Raw Material

The PM process uses highly consistent, engineered elemental or alloyed metal powders.

Pressing /Compacting

The raw material powder is subsequently pressed or compacted in a closed die to form the near-net-shape (identical to or very similar to the final dimensions) and is called "green" compact.

Sintering

The "green" compacts are heated in a continuous sintering furnace to an elevated temperature and in a protective atmosphere in order to form metallurgical integrity.

Secondary Process

Secondary operations are selectively applied to either improve dimensional tolerance or to achieve geometries that cannot be formed in the compaction process.

Sizing

Sizing is a high-speed pressing operation which improves profile tolerance. Typical machining processes such as turning, milling, drilling, and threading can be applied when required.
