What Is Powder Metallurgy?
Powder metallurgy is an innovative, advanced manufacturing technology based on the high-pressure forming of metal powders in project-specific molds, followed by sintering (heat treatment) in controlled-atmosphere furnaces. This method enables the production of parts with high mechanical strength, dimensional accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. Compared to traditional machining, it allows for the production of parts with complex geometries in a single operation without the need for additional processing. It is a system that has proven its quality in countless industries, including the automotive sector, home appliances, electric motors, and industrial equipment.
Flawless Mass Production
High-speed production of parts with complex geometries to standard quality specifications.
Tight Tolerances
Consistent dimensional accuracy from start to finish, even in high-volume production.
Maximum Efficiency
Significant economic benefits due to minimal material waste and the absence of the need for additional processing.
Production Stages in Powder Metallurgy
01. Engineering and Mold Design
Customer designs are analyzed by our engineers. The powder metal mold best suited for the production process is manufactured with precision.
02. Powder Compaction (Shaping)
The prepared molds are integrated into the press machines. Metal powders are compacted to give the part its solid "raw" form.
03. Sintering (Heat Treatment)
The pressed parts undergo heat treatment in controlled-atmosphere sintering furnaces. The parts achieve their final mechanical hardness.
04. Calibration (Measurement Accuracy)
Parts requiring tight tolerances are re-pressed in special molds after sintering. This process ensures millimeter-level precision.
05. Secondary Post-Trade Activities
Depending on the part's intended use, the pores are impregnated with oil, the part undergoes additional heat treatment, steam tempering, or a special surface coating is applied.
06. Quality Control and Shipping
Parts that have been manufactured are tested according to international standards. Approved products are carefully packaged and shipped safely.
