Powder Metallurgy, or PM, is a process for forming metal parts by heating compacted metal powders to just below their melting points. PM is widely recognized as a superior way of producing high-quality parts for a variety of important applications. This success is due to the advantages the process offers over other metal forming technologies, such as forging and metal casting, advantages in material utilization, shape complexity, near-net-shape dimensional control, among others. PM is a recognized green technology. (MPIF)
Powder Metal Parts Manufacturing
We manufacture powder metal parts from 5 tons to 500 tons.
In-House Machining
Not only can we press parts up to 500 tons, we do all of our own machining in-house to allow for better control over product flow. We have several CNC lathes, drill presses, and tapping machines. See the Outsourcing information in the next block to see the relationships that we have developed for specialized machining.
Assembly
We have years of experience in Custom Assembly and Packaging before and during Sintering (Sinter Bonding).
Outsourcing
The majority of our products can be made to net-shape specifications in-house. There are occasions where customer requirements force us to use outside sources. These include, but are not limited to: Heat Treating; Machining; Plating; Drilling and Tapping; Steam Treating; and Honing. We have developed partnerships with our outsourcing shops to give you the highest quality and shortest lead time available.
