Pulvermetallurgie

Powder metallurgy is a manufacturing process that compacts metal powders in precision tooling and sinters them at high temperature to form solid, net-shape parts. It is ideal for high-volume production of complex components.

We offer iron-based alloys (FC-0208, FN-0208, F-0008), stainless steel (316L, 304L), copper-based alloys (bronze, brass), and soft magnetic alloys.

Standard PM tolerances are ±0.05 mm. Secondary operations like sizing and machining can achieve tighter tolerances as needed.

Tooling fabrication takes 3–5 weeks, and production runs typically ship within 2–3 weeks after tooling approval.

Yes. PM parts can undergo heat treatment, steam treatment, plating, and other secondary operations to improve mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

MIM is a variant of powder metallurgy for small, complex parts requiring superior mechanical properties. It combines the design freedom of plastic injection molding with the strength of metal.

PM is most cost-effective for volumes from 5,000 to millions of parts per year. For lower volumes, we recommend evaluating alternative processes like CNC machining.
