Design Your Powdered Metal Customized Workshop in 3 Simple Steps!
1. Customize Your PM Workshop
Part 1: Understanding Sintered Metals
Understand how Atlas utilizes their knowledge, experience, and new innovations to maximize the design capabilities of powder metallurgy (PM), compared to other metal forming technologies.
Through hands-on activities and targeted topic discussions including materials standards, molding and sintering, and secondary operations, you will realize the full potential of PM and gain fresh perspectives
Complex Structural Component
Part 2. Assessing a Part's Conversion Potential
Learn how Atlas' PM advancements have created opportunities for component conversions like the nut drive assembly (shown at right). Harnessing the design capabilities of powder metallurgy, Atlas was able to convert this three-component assembly into a single PM component. As a result of this redesign, our customer was able to save time and money.
This workshop segment will help you to learn how to assess a component's potential for PM and to understand the benefits of converting parts to PM.
