Bodycote Powdermet® technologies

Bodycote Powdermet® technologies are the optimal processes for manufacturing to the highest degree of complexity and precision.

Bodycote has decades of experience creating complex, high integrity components from powdered metal. Bodycote Powdermet® technologies are a group of manufacturing processes used in the production of complex components using powder metallurgy. Bodycote Powdermet® technologies now incorporate new, patent-pending techniques that combine 3D printing with well-established net shape and near net shape techniques. This new technology dramatically reduces the manufacturing time and production cost of a part compared to producing the same part using 3D printing alone. Powdermet® technologies ensure...

Redefined component manufacturing Powdermet® technologies ensure complete powder consolidation achieving structural homogeneity and elimination of all internal porosity - characteristics which are not possible to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. Bodycote's innovative engineering solutions improve customers' product design and system operations while contributing to overall savings. Powdermet® Hybrid with 3D Printing* Powdermet® Hybrid technologies* combine NNS or SSNS with 3D printing to produce fully bonded components at greatly reduced cost and production time compared to...

Creating value for industries Aerospace & Defence For parts that are subjected to high in-service stresses, it is essential to maximise the properties and working life of the component. The design flexibility inherent in Bodycote's Powdermet® solutions means that it is possible to produce components from metallic compositions that are difficult or impossible to forge or cast by conventional means. Nuclear SSNS and NNS parts require minimal machining; so in comparison to conventional wrought components, the design can be tailored to the actual requirements for part performance, rather than...

As the global leader in heat treatment and specialist thermal processing services, Bodycote has been at the forefront of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technologies for decades with the largest equipment network in the world and continues to invest in greater capacity in recognition of growing demand. Bodycote Powdermet® technologies* are a group of processing services. These services include near-net shape, selective surface net shape, 3D printing and hybrid processes with 3D printing. *Patents pending www.bodycote com Bodycote plc Springwood Court Springwood Close Tytherington Business...
