“We are pleased to be supplying powder metal connecting rods for this much anticipated engine,” said George Thanopoulos, Engine Group president. “Metaldyne has positioned itself as the global leader in powder metal connecting rod technology, supplying powder metal rods for over 30 engines to six vehicle manufacturers in four countries.”
Metaldyne is a global leader in powder metal technology, having pioneered the technology in the 1980s. The improved product strength, weight distribution and NVH characteristics of powder metal forged connecting rods make them a growing industry trend.
The powder metal process allows manufacturers to cut costs on critical parts by eliminating gear cutting, machining and other secondary operations that traditional metal-formed components require.
