What Are Powdered Metal Parts?
Precision Sintered Parts (PSP) uses powder metallurgy to produce small, intricate metal parts for OEM's and final assemblers. These parts are used in a wide range of industries including sports and recreation, oil and gas, industrial equipment and power tools. Since its founding in 1967, the company had earned a reputation for excellence in metal part production. |
| Powder metallurgy - or P/M - is an advanced manufacturing technique utilized to produce net shape, or near -net shape parts for customers requiring relatively large quantities of high-quality, consistently-dimensioned, close tolerance parts. P/M parts are a proven alternative to cast, forged or machined parts in many applications. The flexibility afforded by the P/M process allows the product engineer to custom design ferrous and non-ferrous metal parts to control strength, hardness, density and permeability. The use of prealloyed powders eliminates segregation and other defects associated with castings. The smooth surface finish of production P/M parts is superior to that obtained from wrought or cast processes and seldom requires secondary finishing operations. |
