About Powder Metal Services
Powder metal services use pressure and heat to form precision parts and shapes from ferrous and nonferrous metals. The powder metal (P/M) process begins by filling a die with powder and then compacting it at room temperature to form an engineered shape such as a gear. Next, this compacted shape is ejected from the press and fed through a high-temperature furnace. This process, called sintering, metallurgically fuses the particles without melting them. After sintering, there are a variety of secondary operations that powder metal services can perform. These operations include sizing, plating, coining, CNC machining, CNC turning, ID/OD grinding, surface grinding, tumbling, drilling, tapping, heat treating, steam treating, and impregnation.
