Lock & Hardware Components
Lock and hardware PM components include lock cores, lock body structures, switch contacts and device housing fixtures produced by powder compaction and sintering for wear resistance and high-volume economics.
Locks and electrical products use powder metallurgy parts for lock cores, lock body structures, heat spreaders, switch contacts and device housing structures. The process supports wear-resistant, repeatable parts in volume.

Frequently asked questions
Can powder metallurgy make lock components?
Yes. Lock cores, lock body structures and related fixture parts are candidate applications. Confirm the specific part, material and finish for detailed review.
Are PM lock parts corrosion resistant?
Stainless-steel-based PM parts can offer corrosion resistance, while iron-based parts are often plated or coated. Corrosion requirements must be specified.
Can you supply switch contacts?
Switch contacts and internal structural parts are listed as candidate applications from the legacy site. Electrical and wear requirements must be confirmed for each part.
