GKN Sinter Metals manufactures hundreds of different body & chassis components for its automotive customers around the world. From steering columns and shock absorbers to braking and exhaust systems, GKN offers the latest technologies backed by decades of expertise in powder metals manufacturing.
Among the innovative manufacturing solutions GKN utilizes in its body and chassis components:
- Metal Injection Molding (MIM) offers unmatched design flexibility when shaping small and/or complex components.
- Sinter Furnace Hardening (SFH) improves dimensional controls and eliminates quench cracks. SFH combines selective alloying of the P/M materials with a fast cooling stage in the sintering process. More cost-effective than quench hardening.
Key GKN advantages
- Complex geometries with minimal secondary operations
- Extensive range of application-specific materials and coatings
- Flexibility and rapid change response
- Dedicated technical resources
- Superior designs
