WHAT IS PM? Powder metallurgy-or PM-is a state -of-the-art metal-forming process used to produce net-shape components. Made by mixing elemental or alloy powders and compacting the mixture in a die, the resultant shapes are then sintered (heated) in a controlled-atmosphere furnace to bond the particles metallurgically. Basically a “chipless” metalworking process, PM
