Three powder metallurgy material systems, under one roof.
Iron-based, stainless steel, and copper-based PM all run on the same floor with steam treatment and vacuum sintering in-house. Click into a material to see specifications, typical applications, and design notes.
The workhorse of powder metallurgy — structural gears, sprockets, bushings, and brackets where strength and cost-per-part matter most. Compositions range from pure iron to Fe-Ni, Fe-Cu, and pre-alloyed steels.
Material 02 Stainless steel PM304, 316, 410, 430 and 17-4 PH compositions vacuum sintered to full density. Corrosion-resistant components for appliances, food-contact, and exhaust-duty applications.
Material 03 Copper-based PMSelf-lubricating bushings, electrical contacts, and conductive components. Copper infiltration also adds density and thermal conductivity to iron parts.
Match the material to the duty cycle.
A quick rule of thumb. Send a drawing for a formal recommendation.
| If the part is structural and cost-driven | Iron-based PM. Highest strength per dollar; widest size range. |
|---|---|
| If the part sees moisture, food, or exhaust | Stainless steel PM. Vacuum sintered to full density; passes salt-spray and corrosion tests. |
| If the part is a bearing, contact, or bushing | Copper-based PM (or copper-infiltrated iron). Embedded lubrication and conductivity. |
