What is Powder Metallurgy?
What is Powder Metallurgy? Powder metallurgy (PM) is a value-added engineering process for forming metal parts by heating compacted metal powders to just below their melting points. The heat treatment is called “sintering.” Although the process has existed for more than 100 years, over the past quarter century it has become widely recognized as…
What is Cold Forging?
Cold forging, unlike hot forging, deforms metal below its recrystallization point – near to or at room temperature. A preferred forging method for softer metals (such as aluminum), cold forging is less expensive and has the ability to produced forged parts that require little no finishing processes. A cold working process,…
