Parts Design Design Considerations Components should be designed specifically for fabrication by powder metallurgy, rather than the adaptation of a design originally intended for production by another method. Production volumes of less than 10,000 identical parts are not practical. However, part applications must be evaluated on an individual basis, rather than on a strict quantity basis, because some case histories have shown lesser quantities to be cost-effective. Continuous research by our metallurgical and engineering staff provides us with a vast resource of designs and special materials for specific applications. Falls Creek Powdered Metals is prepared to assist you with your needs wherein P/M parts are being used or contemplated. I addition, we have engineered cost-saving conversions to P/M for components that are thought to be only produced by machining processes. |
