Powder Metallurgy aluminium components offer lightweight solutions and high volume production
Powder Metallurgy aluminium components provide design engineers with a lightweight, energy saving option for a range of applications. The process can offer unique material properties along with the ability to produce high volumes of complex aluminium components. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Schubert and Dr.-Ing. Thomas Weissgärber, of Germany’s Fraunhofer IFAM in Dresden, describe the production process and provide a number of industrial case studies to highlight the possibilities of aluminium PM.
