Material Formulation

Whether your application calls for iron, steel, brass, bronze, aluminum, stainless steel, nickel silver, tool steel, copper, or some other material, MPP has experience working with it. In fact, we have been working with almost every type of powder metal material for more than 50 years.

We are innovators in powder metal material technology, including the development, selection, and blending of a wide variety of standard and custom powder metal materials and alloys. Elemental or pre-alloyed metal powders are tested to precise specifications. We conduct carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen analysis on our material formulations, and we use digital microphotography to analyze the microstructure of various powder metal materials. Tested and approved materials are then mixed with lubricants or other alloy additions to produce a homogeneous mixture of ingredients. Mixing takes place in blenders ranging in capacity from 15 to 10,000 pounds. Tests are performed to ensure that the materials developed for your component are optimal for its manufacturing and operating environments.
