Due to increasing material costs on the global market, the metal working companies are forced to look for more efficient manufacturing techniques. Powder-metallurgical (PM) production, which was originally only applied to refractory and hardly castable metals, is becoming increasingly attractive for conventional alloys as well because of its high material utilization level and the high number of variants in the alloy generation. In case of more cost-intensive materials in particular, PM production has the promising potential to reduce costs and thus strengthen competitiveness by means of high material utilization combined with only minor reworking requirements.
