Metal Powder Products is an international powder metallurgy manufacturer headquartered in Indianapolis, IN and has three domestic producing facilities in Pennsylvania as well as plants in Mexico and Canada. MPP is the largest manufacturer of powder metal aluminum structural parts in North America. An award winning producer of PM products, they have experience working in all types of alloys including iron, steel, brass, bronze, stainless steel, nickel silver, copper, aluminum and many other alloys. Although most P/M parts are formed to net shape and require no secondary machining, MPP performs a variety of value-added operations to enhance properties, improve performances or to provide additional precision. We employ Advanced Quality Planning programs that allow us to analyze potential problems and optimize product design in order to prevent them. MPP also features its own Technology Center dedicated to providing application assistance to customers as well as performing numerous R&D functions in the areas of new alloy development, sintering techniques, advanced compaction and prototyping. All MPP facilities are ISO 9002, QS 9000, or TS 16949 certified.

Facility

Pressing

• Presses 4 to 900 tons
  • Computer controlled, multi-function presses
• Developed considerable expertise in processes that increase densification such as gear rolling, double pressing and double sintering.
• Patented PCF (Precision Cold Forming) process increases both densification of the part and improves dimensional control.

Sintering

• MPP maintains the strictest atmosphere and temperature controls, which is crucial during this process
  • Sintering capabilities up to 2500° F (1,300° C)
• High temperature sintering capabilities which provide several benefits, such as the reduction of oxides, more diffusion, and generally better bonding.
• We have developed considerable expertise in processes that increase the density of P/M parts, such as gear rolling, double pressing, and double sintering.
• MPP’s patented PCF (Precision Cold Forming) process promotes both densification of the part and improved dimensional control

Engineering

• MPP Technology Center
  • The mission of the Technology Center is to focus on the development of new materials, advanced compaction and sintering techniques, prototyping, and the development of proprietary products and processes. assistance to customers and MPP operating
• Expertise in PM alloys
  • Offer the development, selection, and blending of a wide variety of specialty materials, custom alloys and high-temperature materials for customers.
• Design Assistance
  • MPP design engineers use state-of-the-practice CAE tools to assist customers in component design.

Value Added Operations

• While PM parts are formed to net shape, MPP performs a variety of value added operations to enhance properties, improve performance, or to provide additional complexity or precision. These include
  • CNC machining, Precision grinding, Burnishing, Turning, Milling/Drilling, Broaching, Tapping/Threading, Vibratory finishing, Heat treating/Steam Treating, Induction hardening, Oil & resin impregnation, Sealing/Plating, Teflon® coating, Sizing/Coining, Shot blasting, Sinterbonding/Sinterbrazing, Welding/Adhesive bonding

Quality

• ISO 9002, QS 9000, TS 16949 certified.
• Advanced Quality Planning
  • We employ AQP programs that allow us to analyze for potential problems and then optimize product designs and manufacturing processes to prevent them. Tests are performed to measure tensile strength, compression, impact, torque, corrosion resistance, and other factors
• MPP has a higher percentage of Certified P/M Technologists than any other P/M company in the U.S.
• MPP Tech Center
  • Metallurgical lab, where engineers use digital microphotography and
    other technologies to check material microstructure, chemical composition, and other propertie
