Powder Metallurgy Applications FAQs

Powder metallurgy is most widely used in the automotive industry, offering a cost-effective solution for mass-producing precision components.

Common applications include powder metal gears, sintered bearings, sprockets, oil pump rotors and gears, as well as parts used in engines and transmission systems.

Powder metallurgy manufactures precision motorcycle components such as shock absorber pistons and valves, transmission gears like driven gears and shift drum segments, valve guides, camshaft governors, and oil pump rotors.

Powder metallurgy is widely used in power tools to create durable, precision metal parts. Components such as bevel gears, bushings, clutch plates, and rotor cores are commonly produced using PM to reduce weight and improve wear resistance.

Powder-metallurgy parts appear in many everyday appliances wherever small, durable metal components are needed. Typical examples include sintered gears and self-lubricating bearings in washing machines, blenders, and vacuum-cleaner drives.

Powder metallurgy is used to produce turbine disks, blades, fuel nozzle inserts, compressor shafts, and high-strength bushings made from nickel and cobalt superalloys.

Sintered filter elements are made of powder metallurgy to form interconnected pore structures with excellent filtration accuracy. These porous filter elements are widely used in vents, pneumatic silencers, and liquid or gas filtration systems.
