Powder Metallurgy Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Powder metallurgy is the process of manufacturing or producing components or materials from metal powders. It is primarily used to create one-of-a-kind components that are impossible to create through melting or forming, such as tungsten carbide. Powder metallurgy reduces manufacturing yield losses and produces lower-cost products. It is a method that saves time, money, and effort. It converts the starting material into the necessary powder form and then sticks the powder together to form a desirable unique product. Powder metallurgy is also used in the production of inert machine parts such as rotors, gears, bearings, bushings, and magnets.
