ADVANTAGES OF POWDER METALLURGY

—

There is minimum loss of material.
The components produced are clean, bright, and ready for use.
The composition of the product can be easily controlled.
Components can be produced with good surface finish and close tolerance.
Production rate is high.
Complex shapes can be produced.
Wide range of properties such as density, porosity, and particle size can be controlled for a specific application.
There is usually no need for subsequent machining or finishing operations.
This process facilitates mixing of both metallic and non-metallic powders to give products of special characteristics.
Porous parts can be produced that could not be made by any other process.
Less skilled labour can be employed.
