COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR MANUFACTURING CHALLENGES

Overcoming Production Complexities with Powder Metallurgy

Are you struggling with the challenges of balancing design complexity, precision, and cost in component manufacturing? Traditional methods like casting, milling, and grinding may not meet these demands efficiently, often resulting in increased costs and production inefficiencies. MPP's Custom Powder Metal Solutions provide a superior alternative, optimizing the production process without compromising quality, particularly beneficial in high-volume production scenarios.

Why Powder Metal Stands Out:

Net Shape Capability: Reduces or eliminates the need for additional machining, minimizing scrap loss and lowering production cost.

Cost-Effective for Complex Shapes: Ideal for manufacturing complex or unique shapes that are not feasible with other metal forming processes.

Superior Finishes and Properties: Achieves excellent surface finishes and tribological properties, enhancing the component's functional lifespan.

Consistent Quality: Maintains high consistency and exacting tolerances from part to part, crucial for industries requiring high reliability.

Sustainable Approach: Supports eco-friendly manufacturing practices by utilizing up to 95% recycled materials and by reducing the carbon footprint by up to 50%, all while decreasing energy consumption and material waste.

Explore how MPP's Powder Metallurgy can address your production challenges, delivering durable, precise components more cost-effectively.

Powder Metal Process

Material Formation

MPP will partner with your engineering team to develop the desired mix of materials needed for your application. Tested and approved materials are mixed with lubricants or other alloy additions to create the perfect combination needed for your application’s manufacturing and operating needs.

Pressing

In the compaction phase of the powder metal process, your specially formulated mix of powder is automatically fed into a precision die and compacted. Once ejected from the die, the piece is strong enough to be handled and transported to the sintering furnace.

Sintering

Once your piece is pressed, it moves into a sintering furnace capable of reaching temperatures up to 2,600˚ F. The parts are heated and held at the sintering temperature, then cooled. The sintering step transforms the mechanical bond of the compacted powder into a metallurgical bond providing the strength and performance needed from your powder metal part.

Secondary Operations

While many powder metal parts require no secondary machining, you are able to choose from a variety of optional manufacturing and finishing operations to customize the density, shape, corrosion resistance, or performance properties of any part.

Material Formation

To ensure you’re getting the right materials for the job, our team conducts carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen analysis on all material formulations. Tested and approved materials are mixed with lubricants or other alloy additions to create the perfect combination needed for your application’s manufacturing and operating needs.
