The MPIF has released a new report called: ‘Powder Metallurgy – Intrinsically Sustainable’ which is aimed at recognising PM as a ‘green’ technology. 

The report underlines the fact that PM, and this will also include MIM, has one of the highest material utilisation rates (>95%) in the manufacture of metal components, and additionally the PM process uses less energy than other processes such as cold and warm extrusion, hot forging, and machining.

PM is also said to present fewer environmental hazards than competing processes, states the MPIF report. Final machining operations on PM parts for special tolerances are minimal, and results in a reduction of cutting fluids per pound produced.
