A General Situation of Global Powder Metallurgy Industry.

The total global freight of metal powders was around 880 thousand tons, 51% in America, 18% in Europe, 13% in Japan, 18% in other countries. And iron powders occupied more than 90%. Since 2001, the production of iron powders has rised continually, and reached near 20% in four years.

Powder Metallurgy in Auto Industry

Auto industry is the most large motivation and application industry of powder metallurgy all the time. On the one hand, the production of cars is raised, on the other hand, the usage of powder metallurgy parts used in cars is boomed. In China, auto industry is developed with high speed, and has a great future, then has caught much attention of powder metallurgy manufacturer.

Powder metallurgy parts mainly are used in engines, transfer system, ABS system, ignition devices of cars.

Powder metallurgy is a manufacturing processing that press the feedstock that is a mixture of metal powders and non-metal powders in a tooling to form a complex finished part. PM is available for the material that is difficult to obtain by normal melting processing, and high precision parts with fewer resource and workforce. However, the toolings and metal powders used in PM are moderately expensive, which results in that it’s not effective and economic when used for metal parts with small production and large weight.
