Innovative automotive solutions

Metal powder innovation that can transcend the rapidly evolving demands of the automotive and transportation industries.

As the automotive and transportation industries continue their journey towards a smarter and brighter future, we see metal powder technology at the forefront of this progressive era.

Höganäs is building strong partnerships with automotive manufacturers, not only providing premium metal powder, but also fulfilling a range of application requirements. Our solutions enhance performance, and support electrification.  

Cost-efficient powder metallurgy for a growing variety of pressed and sintered vehicle parts remains at the heart of what we do. But Höganäs is also pioneering metal powder for additive manufacturing in this sector, developing functional prototypes and spare components. 

We are the market leader for high temperature brazing, offering premium pastes and in-depth expertise in joining techniques and possibilities. Moreover, our inductor, electric motor and drivetrain solutions – created with premium soft magnetic composite powders – provide flexible, more compact electronic design opportunities, helping to meet the increasing demand for smaller electric and hybrid motors.

Our ambition is to grow the range of applications that can benefit from metal powder technology, opening up a new world of opportunities for a more cost-efficient and sustainable future in automotive and transportation manufacturing.

Our main areas of expertise

  • Know-how and experience of the automotive industry, its challenges, application requirements and production processes.
  • Customised metal powder for electro-magnetic and friction applications, pressing & sintering, brazing, thermal surface coating, 3D printing and inductor solutions.
  • Pioneering and sustainable solutions to help meet the demand for electrification, hybridisation, lower scrap rates and reduced carbon emissions.
  • Close customer partnerships from conception to application, with fast time-to-market objectives.

Metal powders contribute to sustainable development

Metal powder technology provides endless opportunities; not only does it enable our customers to reduce their material and energy consumption, but it also helps them use new and better techniques that make final products more efficient and less expensive.

We believe that the inherent power of metal powders can be utilised to a much larger extent than it is today. We are also convinced that metal powders can contribute to sustainable development. With metal powder solutions, we can contribute to solving many of society’s pressing challenges, such as resource scarcity and the need for renewable energy.
