The technological advantage in your industry with powder metal technology

Whether robotics, motorcycles, hydraulics or industrial and building automation, our high-precision and high-strength powder metal parts are used in a wide variety of industries and applications. In these industries, powder metal technology ensures cost savings in production, reduced weight, and an improved environmental footprint. As the technology leader, Miba delivers customized solutions that are optimized to your specific needs.

 

Advantages of powder metal technology

Complex geometries can be produced faster with powder metal technology than with machined steel, for example. Thanks to surface densification processes, we can almost achieve the strength of solid steel on the surface of our components. This makes powder metal parts almost as resistant as forged and machined parts.

Powder metal technology is also characterized by high process stability. Material utilization is virtually 100%. The powder used is made from recycled steel scrap, which significantly reduces the CO2 footprint. The necessary energy demand is also lower than with other technologies.

For an overview of the many advantages of powder metal technology, see our article Advantages of Powder Metallurgy and Sintering.
