Shape-memory medical devices
Ni-Ti shape-memory alloys are used for many implanted devices that require the biocompatibility and shape-change properties of nitinol. |
|
Maritime Powerplants
Oceangoing vessels require P/M nickel-base superalloy fuel injector nozzles in engines up to 80,000 kW output. |

Race Car Suspension Components
Ti-6Al-4V plus boron and carbon powder was used to create high-strength, lightweight suspension components for Formula One racing cars. |
|
Battery Alloys for Electric Cars
A Ni-Zr based matrix containing La-Ni precipitates combines high hydrogen storage capacities at low discharge rates with good kinetics and sufficient cyclic stability. |  |
|
| Co-based P/M Glow Plug resistance wire
Coiled resistance wire regulates the current delivered to glow plugs for diesel automotive engines.

 |
Sputtering Targets
Sputter deposition of high-tech materials from prealloyed P/M targets improves coating homogeneity, increases deposition rate, and minimizes arcing. |
|
X-ray standards and ultrasonic inspection blocks
Powder Metallurgy is often the preferred way to manufacture X-ray standards. P/M provides consistent fine grain homogenous microstructure that allows the standards to be consistent and reliable. |
