Pm-al - Material Jun 2026

For high-volume production (5,000 to 50,000+ parts), PM-AL eliminates costly machining. Complex geometries—gears, splines, undercuts—can be pressed directly into the die.

The journey begins with molten aluminum alloy. High-pressure jets of inert gas (usually nitrogen or argon) break the liquid stream into fine droplets, which solidify into spherical or irregular powders. Gas atomization is preferred for PM-AL because it produces clean, rapidly solidified particles with a refined microstructure. PM-AL - Material

A near-net-shape manufacturing process. Unlike casting (pouring molten metal into a mold) or machining (cutting away material from a solid block), PM starts with fine metal powders. These powders are compacted into a desired shape and then heated (sintered) to bond the particles together without fully melting them. For high-volume production (5,000 to 50,000+ parts), PM-AL
