Powder metallurgy (PM) is a process widely used in the engineering industry for manufacturing precise and complex components. Among all the sectors utilizing PM components:
- The automotive industry is the largest consumer, accounting for the highest percentage of total PM parts used.
- PM is extensively used in manufacturing gears, bushings, bearings, and structural parts for engines and transmissions in automobiles.
- The automotive sector benefits from PM's ability to reduce cost, improve dimensional accuracy, and optimize material usage.
Hence, automotive applications dominate PM usage compared to hardware, household appliances, or industrial motors.
