Efficiency through design

We want our  services to help our customers achieve more with less. We drive efficiency through design through new technologies such as our Powdermet® (PM-HIP) offering. This  delivers near-net-shape designs with superior material properties as a replacement for traditional forging. This specialist technology creates lighter and leaner components that require less machining and shorter production lead times while improving performance – all of which helps our customers to reduce resource use and waste.

As well as this, PM-HIP also drives significant energy savings. Studies show it can use up to 65% less energy than conventional hot forging. With reduced part weight, consolidated processing, and minimal post-treatment, these improvements significantly lower carbon intensity and material input while maintaining required industry standards.
