Production Process Overview

The manufacturing process employed at Towanda Metadyne, Inc is a vertically integrated process that succeeds in achieving superior control over product quality, production lead times, and containment of costs. Powder manufacturing is the first step of the Towanda Metadyne, Inc process and begins with the formulation of custom powders. These custom powders meet stringent material specifications and are processed with exacting process controls. Finished powders are tested using the latest powder laboratory equipment, ensuring the highest quality powder for your product.

The powder is next released to the pressing area. Towanda Metadyne has the versatile capability of providing cold and hot isostatic pressing along with mechanical pressing up to 50 tons. Over 600 tool sets are currently available to meet the demands of our customers. Close control of the pressing parameters ensures the dimensional accuracy of our components.

High temperature sintering is accomplished by using vacuum sintering furnaces capable of temperatures up to 2100°C. Each furnace is computer controlled, adding to the flexibility and overall precision of this step. Towanda Metadyne's comprehensive in-house laboratory enhances the dimensional and metallurgical testing of each sintering run. Conventional machining and grinding equipment is also used in our manufacturing operation.
