| Powder metallurgy is a
relatively new technology that has revolutionized the manufacture
of metal and metal alloy parts and components. Businesses all over
the world are discovering that the PM process offers benefits that
no other method of component manufacture can match.
Outstanding Cost Effectiveness Powdered metal has virtually no waste so material costs are dramatically lowered. In addition, PM's unique ability to produce parts with close dimensional tolerances eliminates or minimizes the need for secondary operations, cutting out a potentially costly and time-consuming step in the manufacture process. Unparalleled Flexibility The PM process can produce parts that are tailor made to each and every need, including components in complex or unique shapes that would be prohibitively costly to achieve with other metalworking processes. PM can be heat treated to provide additional strength, and PM components provide controlled porosity for self-lubrication. Unmatched Value The PM process is suitable for an extremely broad range of production requirements. Short runs as well as moderate-to-high production is not only feasible, but economical. PM can use a wide variety of alloyed blends of material to produce components that provide long-range reliability at affordable prices. |
ADVANTAGES OF THE PM PROCESS
Eliminates or minimizes machining Eliminates or minimzes scrap losses Maintains close dimensional tolerances Achieves a wide variety of alloy systems Produces good surface finishes Provides materials which may be heat reared for increased strength or enchanced wear resistance Provides controlled porosity for self-lubrication or filtration. Facilitates manufacture of complex or unique shapes which would be impractical or impossible with other metalworking processes Suited to moderate-to-high volume component productions requirements Offers long-term performance reliability in critical applications |
