Solving Production Problems for Door Hinges

Having decades of industry experience, our design engineers here at Volunteer Sintered Products apply their knowledge in inventive ways to help our customers solve problems. With our strong background and robust understanding of powdered metal technologies, our engineers pushed the boundaries of its capabilities to produce the door hinge highlighted here.

One of our existing customers sent out an RFQ to several of their suppliers for the production of this hinge. The complex geometry was a challenge regarding tooling design, but our design engineers used their out-of-the-box thinking skills to develop an innovative solution. Their solution was genuinely creative and unique -- all of the other vendors, unable to meet product specifications, returned a "no quote" to the RFQ request.

Our powder metallurgy process provides a lot of versatility concerning design freedom and raw material composition. We can manufacture parts with complex geometries and irregular features and combine previously separate components into a single workpiece. By blending different elemental materials and controlling the size and shape of the powder particles, we can custom tailor its flow characteristics into the mold and the final product's strength, hardness, density, and porosity.

By tapping into the full potential of powder metallurgy and pushing its design limits, we successfully manufactured this hinge according to customer specifications. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified powdered metallurgy specialist, the client was confident in our capabilities to manufacture a high-reliability component for their product.
