Advantage of P/M parts
• Flexibility- The P/M process provides unparalleled flexibility in the design of complex net shape or near-net shape parts with unique mechanical properties. • Consistency- Consistent dimensions from part to part, order to order, year to year. • Precision- Dimensional accuracy is controlled throughout the production process. Tolerances can be held to within 0.001.in. (.0025mm). • Versatility- The design engineer may choose from a variety of metals and alloying elements that can be combined to create microstructures and properties tailored to specific applications. • Economy- The manufacturing process is inherently superior to alternatives. There is little wasted raw material and limited, if any, secondary operations required to produce net shape parts. • Finish- The surface finish is comparable to that of other parts which have been ground.
