What is Powder Metallurgy

Powder Metallurgy

The PM process is a highly-developed manufacturing process which produces ferrous and non ferrous products. The PM process uses most metallic and alloy materials and can create complex, near-net-shape parts. Whether your product is simple or a multi-step, tight-tolerance product, the PM process is capable of meeting your firm’s needs.

The PM process is a metal forming process which entails the heating of compacted metal powder to just below their melting point. Advantages of powder metal over other metal working processes include material utilization, shape complexity, and near-net-shape dimensional control, among others.
