1. FJ Sintermetal Partners in Projects FP6 8 th November 2002

2. Powder Forging of Aluminium MMC-Powders  Company presentation  Powder Forging process  MMC-Powders  Aluminium MMC-Powders

3. Company presentation  Producer of PM-part since 1985  One of the leading companies in the PM-industry in Europe  19 powder presses – from 4 to 250 ton presses  8 sintering furnaces including sinter hardening  1 powder forging line for development and small productions  Specialised in components with advanced geometry  Small and medium sizes batches

4. What is Powder Forging? Powder mixing with additives and lubricant Pressing of green body in powder presses Sintering in protection atmosphere Forging of sintered green body to final shape Powder mixes Pre-pressing Sintering & heating Forging end products

5. Why Powder Forging? High density High fatigue strength High elongation High impact energy

6. Equipment 150 ton DORST powder press Furnace designed for powder forging: ≤ 1250 ºC ; ENDOGAS - N 2 / H 2
