Design Assistance

Design engineers face numerous questions, including materials, properties, and processing, all with the over-riding challenge of the marketplace — cost.

The engineers, metallurgists, tool designers, and die setters at SSI-Sintered Specialties frequently assist our customers with answers to these concerns. We draw upon 70 cumulative years of metallurgical experience and over 450 years of PM engineering and press experience to offer material and processing solutions to our customers.

Powder Metal and Metal Injection Molding, similar to other fabrication methods, have their own set of design guidelines for producing properly engineered, economical products. The ultimate advantages of PM and MIM are usually realized during the initial design stages; however, these processes can offer significant cost reductions even at later stages of a project.

Our design team's experience is focused within the PM and MIM process technologies; however, it includes many other metal forming processes, including machining, casting, stamping, and cold forming. SSI-Sintered Specialties assists customers with selecting the correct processing technology for their application.
