Powder Metal

Materials

Metaltech has all of the powder metallurgy product manufacturing equipment needed to produce your powder metal product solutions. Featuring multi-level equipment up to 250 tons.

Our Equipment

MOLDING EQUIPMENT

Press Size Range: 12 ton - 250 ton

Average Pressure: 30 - 60 TSI

PM Density: 5.6 - 7.86 g/cm3

 

Density of Steel: 7.86 g/cm3

Average PM Density: 6.80 - 7.00 g/cm3

​

Density level determined by:

  • Mix composition

  • Part geometry

  • Compaction force

  • Lubricant amount

SINTERING EQUIPMENT

  • Sintering bonds the compacted powder particles by a diffusion process that creates solid material bridges between particles.

  • Sintering atmospheres consist typically of nitrogen/hydrogen mixtures enabling oxide reduction and preventing decarburization.

  • Conventional sintering typical temperatures up to 1150°C (2100°F) and to high temperatures of 1260°C (2300°F) to achieve most published MPIF Standard 35 Material properties.

SIZING EQUIPMENT

  • Press Size Range: 5 Ton – 150 Ton

  • To improve dimensional and shape accuracy, sintered parts can be pressed into sizing tools.

  • Individual features like inner and outer diameters or splines can be specifically targeted.

  • The same process can be used to increase density.

Early in the powder metal part development process, Metaltech involves the customer in the engineering & powder metal part design. Metaltech's engineering staff’s extensive experience aims to produce part design solutions that meet or exceed the customer’s requirements and result in significant cost savings for customers.

​

Metaltech engineers powder metal part design and development:

  • Specifications verified for each powder metal part

  • Part designs and processes optimized for manufacturability

  • Part designs are produced digitally using Solid Edge along with a 3D printer to aid in proper design for efficient manufacturing from powdered metal.

  • Part tooling designs are optimized using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for longer wear life.

From conventional sintering furnaces to high-temperature sintering and sinter hardening capabilities, Metaltech has the equipment to produce sintered metal parts and components to their precise specifications. Equipment consists of 6 modern sintering furnaces, ranging in belt sizes from 8" through 24", including two of high temperature design/capability, both with rapid cooling/sinter hardening capability.

Sintering

Powdered Metal Part Finish & Treatments

Sintered powdered metal parts can be finished or treated to achieve desired characteristics such as corrosion resistance, improved strength and hardness, surface wear resistance, edge-sharpness relief, porosity sealing, and control of size and surface finish. 

Metaltech assists the customer in determining the most effective method for post-production finishing. Metaltech has in-house secondary processes, as well as contacts within the industry to enlist the service of subcontractors to produce the desired finished product. Equipment at Metaltech, Inc. includes 3 CNC machining centers, with pallet changers, 2 CNC milling centers, one with a pallet changer, 3 vertical double disc grinders and a variety of other manual production lathes and drilling/tapping machines.

​

For all of our powder metal parts and components, Metaltech determines tooling sizes and requirements, including in-house multi-level tooling, to achieve the desired dimensions or specified parameters for our customers.
