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.
