APPLICATIONS
JOIN US AT: PowderMet 2023
GKN Hoeganaes is attending PowderMet 2023
June 18 – 21, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Metal Powder Industries Federation is a federation of six trade associations representing various aspects of powder metallurgy (PM), metal powders, and particulate materials. Our mission is to advance the interests of the metal powder producing and consuming industries.
OUR TECHNOLOGIES
We engineer, manufacture, and supply market-leading sintered metal components with these innovative process technologies.
The Forged PM process utilizes clean powder metal alloys, creating optimized designs and a high durability capability. A preform is made by powder compaction and sintering; providing a tailored alloy composition, optimum mass distribution, geometry and near-surface conditions to perfect the flow of material during forging.
ADVANTAGES
- Materials outperform wrought steels by 15 to 30 percent in durability
- Forging provides consistent and repeatable datum features without draft angles and flash lines
- Intelligent preforms allow for components to be produced with a single stroke of the forging press
Powder Metallurgy (PM) is an effective metal working technology that provides value through inventive processes, geometries and materials.
ADVANTAGES
- Nearly 100 percent material utilization
- Meeting a large range of material property demands by blending powders
- Wide variety of designs with limited impact on production costs
Delivering the three-dimensional shape capability of plastic injection moulding combined with the performance of alloy steels, stainless steels and high temperature alloys, metal injection moulding (MIM) is uniquely positioned to solve extreme product challenges.
ADVANTAGES
- Three-dimensional complexity
- Weight reduction
- High productivity
Advanced Filtration Solutions for Demanding Applications
