Powdered Metallurgy

Powder Metallurgy (PM) is the process of blending fine powdered materials, pressing them into a desired shape or form, and then heating the compressed material in a controlled atmosphere to bond the material. The high-precision forming capability of PM generates components with near-net shape, intricate features and good dimensional precision pieces. The PM process has the highest raw material utilization (over 95%) and the lowest energy requirement per kilogram of finished part, compared with other manufacturing processes. It is suitable for high-volume production with very little wastage of material.
