Powder Metallurgy is a highly evolved method of manufacturing reliable net shaped components by blending elemental or pre-alloyed powders together, compacting this blend in a die, and sintering or heating the pressed part in a controlled atmosphere furnace to bond the particles metallurgically. The P/M process is a unique part fabrication method that is highly [...]
Forging is the process of forming and shaping metals through the use of hammering, pressing or rolling. The process begins with starting stock, usually a cast ingot (or a “cogged" billet which has already been forged from a cast ingot), which is heated to its plastic deformation temperature, then upset or “kneaded” between dies to [...]
