Powder metallurgy offers a breakthrough opportunity for manufacturers of motors and controls looking to increase performance and reduce costs. Consider all the advantages of P/M technology:

• Increases design flexibility
• Flexible shapes can be molded into stators and armatures without loss in electrical performance
• Innovative material combinations enable production of micro motors
• Reduced weight with no loss in power
• Energy and material savings
• Improved recyclability

Case Study

Challenge: Find an alternative to 1040 steel for bevel gears used in continuously changing billboard displays.
Solution: An innovative P/M material and a process involving pressing, sintering, drilling/tapping and deburring.
Results: Eliminated extensive machining, increased wear resistance and reduced costs.
