Powder Metallurgy

Parts with closed dimensional tolerance and good surface finish can be produced. It eliminates or minimizes scrap losses by more than 97% of the raw material in the finished part, reduces labor cost by employing unskilled labor through full automation, and facilitates the manufacture of certain parts by mixing different metals, metals and non-metals, metals and ceramics, etc.

The production rates of powder metallurgy can range from a few hundreds to several thousands of parts per hour.

The powder metallurgy process involves mixing elemental or alloy powder, compacting the mixture in a die, and then sintering or heating the resultant shape in a controlled atmosphere. It is a cost-effective method of manufacturing ferrous and nonferrous materials.
