Connecting rod

Connecting rods need to be as light as possible, yet capable of handling all the forces the engine can generate. Another objective is to minimise weight variation to improve noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) quality of the engine.

Höganäs powder metallurgy (PM) solutions for connecting rods enable near net-shape geometry, which reduces material waste, reduces machining and enables significant costs savings. They also provide excellent mechanical properties and great weight distribution.
