Advantages of Using Powdered Metal….

• A low cost mass production method of manufacturing high quality, strong complex parts.
• Maintain close dimensional tolerances, achieve “net” shaping.
• Provides a good surface finish.
• Eliminates or minimizes machining or assembly operations.
• Availability of a wide variety of alloyed materials.
• Provides materials which may be heat treated for increased strength or wear resistance.
• Reduce scrap losses
• Provides controlled porosity for self lubrication.
• Facilitates manufacturing of complex or unique shapes which would be impractical or impossible with other metal forming processes
