Component Properties
Why choose sintered components?
With sintered components, less is more. Less process steps, less machining and less waste of material and energy in production add up to a solution with lowest total cost. Sintered components can offer far more than cost savings. They can be made from tailored materials serving specific purposes and with a design that would be impractical or impossible for other manufacturing technologies.
Below figures illustrate the relative positioning of powder metallurgy components (PM) in comparison to other component manufacturing techniques.
