Powder metallurgy (PM) is a processing industry where we produce products from metallic powders. Some most important aspects of powder metallurgy are:

  • products can be mass-produced to net shape (or almost net shape)
  • we have very little waste of material (around 97% material is used)
  • we can manufacture porous metal parts, for example, fillers and oil-impregnated bearings,
  • we can manufacture materials that can't be produced using other methods, for example, tungsten and other specific metal alloys,
  • very high dimensional control,
  • production can be automated for economic benefits.
