With a fully integrated manufacturing facility, we use powdered metal technology to provide at or near net shape parts that are custom-engineered to meet your specific needs. We can work with you to design the ideal part that offers the highest performance and quality for your application while maintaining cost-effectiveness.

What Is Powder Metal?

Powder metal is a metallurgy technique that many manufacturers use to economically produce precision parts and components. The process allows for optimal control over various elements, such as shape, design, and porosity. Capable of achieving very tight tolerances, powder metal is especially ideal for parts with magnetic properties and can be formed in a wide range of shapes with proper sintering.

Several industries depend on custom metal parts made with powdered metal, including:  

  • Power Tool
  • Medical
  • Automotive Engine
  • Automotive Safety
  • General Industrial 
  • Sporting Good
  • Emission Control
  • Tool and Die
  • Food Service
  • Food Processing Equipment
  • Industrial Controls
  • Lawn and Garden
  • Off-Road Equipment
  • Aerospace

Various metals can be atomized to convert molten metal into powder in the powder metallurgy process, including alloyed metals. While many applications depend on powdered steel or iron, other popular choices include stainless steel, copper, bronze, brass, and various grades of steel, such as nickel steel, copper steel and low alloy.

Advantages of Powder Metal Technologies

Powder metallurgy provides a range of benefits in various applications. Parts and components made with powder metal often exceed the quality of parts made with other metallurgy techniques. The primary advantages of powder metal technologies include:

  • Improved versatility, flexibility, and uniformity
  • Cost-effectiveness
  • Produces high-quality parts with a longer life cycle
  • Ability to produce high part volumes
  • High-quality surface finish
  • Ability to improve wear resistance and strength through heat treating processes
  • Minimized material waste
