Sintering Is the Process of Using Heat to Turn Powdered Substances Into Solids Without Actually Melting the Material.
Benefits of sintered powdered metallurgy (PM):
- Cost effective
- Provides excellent reproducibility and repeatability
- Many features can be formed in tooling, thus eliminating or minimizing machining
- Very high material to yield ratio
- Wide variety of alloy systems and materials are available
- Long term performance reliability
- Excellent surface finishes
- Energy efficient and environmentally friendly
- Sustainability
