Powder metallurgy (PM) is a term covering a wide range of ways in which materials or components are made from metal powders. PM processes can avoid, or greatly reduce, the need to use metal removal processes, thereby drastically reducing yield losses in manufacture and often resulting in lower costs. A much wider range of products can be obtained from powder processes than from direct alloying of fused materials.
ASCO Sintering located near Los Angeles in Commerce, CA is our trusted Powdered Metal (PM) components partner. They manufacture precision, complex multi-level structural and self-lubricating powdered metal parts and assemblies. Six sigma trained technicians from Engineering and the Shop floor monitor production of Programmable Logic Controlled Powder compacting presses ranging from 4 – 220 tons and Continuous Belt and Pusher Sintering furnaces capable of 2300F using a Network SPC system before finished parts are “qualified” on Non-destructive resonant testing equipment.
