Applications and Powder Metallurgy Capabilities
In powder metallurgy, metal powders are combined and then heated in a process called sintering to construct objects. It plays a key role in manufacturing across numerous industries.
Common PM Applications
Powder metallurgy enables precise and efficient manufacturing of metal components and is utilized across industries including the automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and consumer products sectors.
Common applications for powder metallurgy include:
- Structural components and gears
- Bearings, bushings, and friction materials
- Net-shape and near-net-shape components
- Metal injection molding (MIM) feedstock
- Additive manufacturing (AM)
- High-temperature and wear-resistant parts
- Precision alloy development
One of the most widely used materials in powder metallurgy is iron thanks to its low cost and desirable properties including strength, hardness, and magnetic characteristics. Explore our iron metal powders.
