Using Powder Metal on a Global Scale
Solving Complex Problems
Selecting the right process to produce a component can be a daunting task; requiring a balance of design, tolerancing, and cost-effectiveness. While many industries use technologies like casting, milling, and grinding, powder metal provides a sustainable, cost-effective alternative with substantial benefits.
Advantages of Powder Metal
- Net shape capability, minimal or no machining and scrap loss
- Good surface finishes and tribological properties
- Cost-effective, high-volume manufacture of complex or unique shapes
- Complex shapes and geometries not possible with other metal forming processes
- Part-to-part consistency at exacting tolerances
- Long term performance reliability in critical applications
- Sustainable manufacturing
