Advantages of Compression Moulding Versus Extrusion

Sintered parts

  • Semi-finished part geometries close to finished part dimensions
  • Extreme economy due to material savings
  • Low tendency to warp due to almost isotropic characteristics
  • extremely low stress levels
  • Consequently also easier to machine
  • Discontinuous production process
  • High semi-finished product costs

Extrusion

  • Continuous production process
  • Low semi-finished product costs
  • High stress levels due to orientations during production
