Metal Powder
- Start with pure PM and additives specific to the customers’ needs
Mixing
- PM is mixed with lubricants
Compacting
- Forces steel to realign causing it to reduce to half of its original volume
Sintering
- Heats the material at a temperature below melting point creating metallurgical bonds
Finishing
- Sizing or coining occurs to achieve specific needs
In addition to being cost effective, this method also allows
for extreme precision and greater ability to customize because of the sintering
process. Because of this, the process is widely used in a variety of
industries, but is exceptionally popular in the automotive and industrial
markets. Learn more about Powder Metallurgy Advantages and how it can help you.
