PTI Tech was contacted by Action Manufacturing Corp. to assist with a production issue they were experiencing with a vendor of tungsten components. The vendor, employing press and sinter tungsten manufacturing, was significantly disrupting the Action Manufacturing’s production lines by missing shipments, as well as delivering high levels of non-conforming parts that required laborious visual inspection, sorting, and rejection. Tungsten is a high-value material that is very difficult to work with via conventional manufacturing methods (such as subtractive machining methods) and impossible via other methods like investment casting.
