What is a Powder Metal Conversion?
A PM conversion is a change in process and material to powder metallurgy from a competing forming process like:
- Stamping
- Plastics
- Casting
- Machining
- Cold forming
Not every design is a candidate for a conversion. However, new powder metallurgy manufacturing technologies and materials have expanded the types of components that the powder metal process can produce.
Benefits of Powder Metal Conversions
Customers have found that, when applicable, converting parts from stamping, casting, casting, machining and cold forming manufacturing methods to PM has provided the following advantages:
- Increased part consistency
- Decreased production time
- Improved performance
- Reduced cost
