Uses and Benefits

Nowadays Powder Metallurgy is used for many applications. Research and development and excellent part proprieties are boosting the use of metal powders in order to reach reliable, durable and dimensionally accurate parts.

Among the numerous uses that may be made of this product, we can highlight the following:

  • Structural parts: mainly used in axes, rods, pins and other automobile parts.
  • Electrical and magnetic applications: contacts, filaments, bulbs and magnets.
  • MIM: this application is on the rise and is definitely one for the future, although it uses very expensive materials. It is particularly suitable for medical material.
  • Friction material: parts made using these materials have to be good energy absorbers, so they are ideal for use in brakes and clutches for motor vehicles.
  • Filters and porous parts: this type of part represents a substantial improvement in the level of resistance to corrosion and to heat. They are perfectly suitable for use in car filters, battery electrodes, bearings, etc.
  • Semi-worked products: parts worked in this way and then forged later have very good mechanical properties and are ideal for automobile connecting rods.
  • Cutting tools and similar parts: they are particularly long-lasting and efficient thanks to their good mechanical conditions and their resistance to wear and tear.
