Any outside vendors we use must also meet the same process standards. ### Molding - We can achieve **less than 5% porosity**, improving magnetic and mechanical properties in your part. (The industry average is 12%.) - Our unique processes can achieve up to 7.5 g/cc density for your powder metal components. - All our presses are equipped with the ability to measure the force needed to press each part helping to assure each part meets customer requirements - Our CNC press provides the ultimate in tooling control, further improving part consistency. - Capable of producing multilevel parts up to 18 sq. in. in plainer area. - Our multi-action presses range from 60 to 550 tons. ### [Conventional Sintering](https://www.horizontechnology.biz/blog/sintering-in-powder-metallurgy-hardening-heat-treatment) - Our conventional furnaces operate at temperatures up to 2150 F - Each furnace is equipped with the ability to rapidly cool parts and eliminate the need for secondary heat treatment - Our furnaces are capable of using a variety of gases -- including hydrogen, nitrogen, and argon -- to form an atmosphere best suited for each part ### [High-Temperature Sintering](https://www.horizontechnology.biz/blog/high-temperature-sintered-parts) - Your sintered metal parts can be heated up to 2500°F. (The industry average is 2100°F) - Parts are cooled rapidly to retain all the beneficial properties of heat treating without additional processing - A special zone inside austenizes your parts, providing further alloy diffusion ### Deburring - Automated brush deburring of green parts - In-line deburring -- Having equipment in-line improves efficiency and cost-effectiveness - Bulk deburring ## Powder Metallurgy Services Whether this is your first time taking advantage of powder metallurgy or your 100th, we have something unique to offer your design.  ### Product Design Our experienced engineering team will point out potential design-for-manufacturing and tolerance issues Materials development is customized for each project. We create **unique alloys** for: - DC magnetic  - AC magnetic - Structural components ### Material Selection We rely almost entirely on [advanced, unique materials](https://www.horizontechnology.biz/blog/powder-metal-materials-flow-chart). Why do we go out of our way to find you a one-of-a-kind mix? - [3D shape-making capabilities](https://www.horizontechnology.biz/blog/1-big-thing-separates-soft-magnetic-materials-vs.-non-powder-metal) - Improved magnetic performance - Higher strength - Greater hardness Our powder metal materials include, but are not limited to: - Soft magnetic materials - [Soft magnetic composites](https://www.horizontechnology.biz/soft-magnetic-composite-resources) - Sinter-hardened steels - Stainless steel with high corrosion resistance ### Process Design Our powder metallurgy process is customized to each project. Our sintering and high-temperature sintering capabilities surpass just about anything you’ll find in North America. Your product is manufactured with highly accurate controls and continuous process monitoring. That means** fewer wasted runs, more product per material volume, and tighter tolerances**. ### [Tooling design](https://www.horizontechnology.biz/blog/powdered-metal-parts-tooling-expenses) - Horizon can help spot design inefficiencies and recommend solutions to help reduce costs - The most efficient combination of coating, plating, material, and heat treatment possible - Large set of tooling on hand for a variety of designs -- with your needs as the top priority, not our own ### Value Engineering ### Powdered Metal Parts Manufacturing ### Automated Inspection Automated inspection is an added layer of protection for the customer. We recognize the need in certain applications for 100% inspection for critical dimensions and features. ### Additional Operations Horizon has developed several trusted partnerships over the years, all in the name of making your supply chain more convenient. Keeping your manufacturing needs under a single umbrella ensures reliability and consolidated lead times. - Plating: For conductivity, strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, & aesthetics   ## What That Means For You: Horizon Technology clears the path for you to innovate.
