WHAT IS POWDER METALLURGY?
Committment
Powder Metallurgy (P/M) is a manufacturing technology whereby
metal powder is compacted into the shape of the final product.

The "green" parts are then sintered in an atmosphere controlled furnace at high temperatures, causing the metal powder particles to be bonded together metallurgically.
The P/M process is a very effective method to produce
metal parts and components; offering many advantages:
Powdered Metal = GREATER VERSATILITY
* Flexibility in the parts shape and design.
* Ability to produce combinations of metal not possible by other methods.
* Pores can be infiltrated with other metals for special properties and 100% density.
* Controlled porosity makes possible such products as self-lubricating bearings and surfaces.
* Ability to fabricate special configurations impossible or difficult to machine by conventional methods.
Powdered Metal = HIGH QUALITY & PRECISION
* P/M process makes it possible to manufacture parts of exceptional strength and durability.
* Good dimensional control with tolerances held within 0.001".
* Consistent dimensions are accurate and unvarying from part to part, order to order, year to year.
* Produces exceptional surface finishes.
Powdered Metal = GREATER ECONOMIC VALUE
* P/M is a net shape process with minimal waste of raw materials.
* Raw materials are readily available and inexpensive.
* P/M parts are produced at or very close to final dimensions; eliminating or minimizing machining.
* Greater actual production speed than most manufacturing methods.
* Short preparation time from design to finished part.
