Powdered metal manufacturing
Powdered Metal.
Built for Repeatability.
From oil-impregnated bearings and bar stock to structural components, Bunting supports powdered metal production quantities from 100 pieces to millions.
The powdered metal process
From Powder to Finished Component.
A coordinated manufacturing route built around material, geometry, density, lubrication and final application requirements.
Prepare the specified metal-powder system.
Form the part using controlled pressing.
Bond the compact through controlled heating.
Calibrate critical geometry and dimensions.
Introduce oil or other specified media.
Complete required secondary operations.
Verify the finished component requirements.
Manufacturing capabilities
More Than Standard Bearings.
Oil-Impregnated Bearings
Sleeve, flange and thrust configurations for standard and application-specific requirements.
Structural Components
Pressed shapes and engineered geometries produced around material and production needs.
Bars, Discs and Plates
Machinable powdered-metal stock in solid, cored, disc and plate forms.
Secondary Operations
Machining, burnishing, vibratory finishing, impregnation and additional finishing support.
Replace with a genuine Bunting press, furnace, sizing or impregnation photograph.
Application-driven manufacturing
