Powder metallurgy (P/M) is the ideal process for manufacturing durable, complex mechanical components such as gears, cams, sprockets and other multilevel parts.
To meet our standard of quality, Micro Metals relies on well-trained personnel, continuous education and the study of new and innovative trends.
Powder metallurgy is flexible. With nearly unlimited combinations of properties, it is likely that a powder metal part can be designed to fit your application.
For 35 years, we have continually worked to provide our customers with economically viable and structurally sound products.
