Proficient in the advantages and disadvantages of powder metallurgy and forging technology

Powder metal and forgings
Since becoming mainstream, powder metallurgy has become a significant solution for producing small parts in many cases. At this point, you may argue that many castings that can be replaced by PM have been replaced. Let's take a closer look at some of the strengths and weaknesses of powder metal and cast components:
Powder metallurgy parts
The upper hand of powder metallurgy:
Parts can be produced using materials that provide high-temperature services and high practicality, while reducing the cost and difficulty. Think about stainless steel that can withstand high temperatures in exhaust systems, etc.
Can maintain high production rates for parts, even complex parts.
Due to the net formability of powder metallurgy, most do not require machining. Less secondary processing means lower labor costs.
The use of metal powder and sintering can achieve high-level control. This allows for fine-tuning of electromagnetic properties, density, damping, toughness, and hardness.
High temperature sintering greatly improves tensile strength, bending fatigue strength, and impact energy.
