Eastern Sintered Alloys (St. Marys, PA)

Engineering & Technical Support—The ESA’ Intangible!

• ESA is an engineering-driven Powder Metal company.

• We offer our customers prompt part design assistance.

• We take into account the overall assembly design and the application of the P/M component.

• ESA can offer P/M material recommendations based upon the part application.

• ESA has (4) seats of 2020 SolidWorks.

• ESA designs all Powder Metal (P/M) tooling in-house………..

  • Thus, we have complete understanding of the long-term maintenance of the tooling.

  • We are committed to maintain your tooling for the “life of the program".

Speed to Market: Our Commitment to YOU!

• ESA is very responsive to customer’s RFQ demands.

• ESA offers part design and assembly design support.

• Very disciplined Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) system.  

• Again, we understand the part application and function of our customer's assembly.

• Tool design, tool build and PPAP submission ranges from 5-weeks to 8-weeks.

 ESA's Manufacturing is Committed to Automation & Robotics:

• ESA is a leader in P/M manufacturing technology.

• ESA's 92,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility is highly-automated.

• We have pick-n-place robotics, uniquely designed & built to smoothly transition the production of P/M parts from molding through our sinteri​ng process.

​ESA is Quality-Oriented:

​

• ESA is ISO9001:2015-registered.  We have an excellent quality performance history. 

• The key to ESA’s quality is…….

  • Understanding the part application and function, and design a P/M part for manufacturability.

  • Secondly, ESA has a very disciplined approach in designing high-quality, robust tools.

• ESA is diligent in our preventative maintenance of tooling—We protect our customer’s investment!!

• ESA monitors our quality throughout the molding, sintering, secondary processing (i.e. heat treat, machining, plating, etc.).

• ESA specializes in Safety Critical applications, and we have a full QA Lab, including mechanical break-testing equipment for comparative yield strength, elongation, etc.

• ESA also features a 5,000 sq. ft. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) department—

  • We can high-speed 100% inspect P/M parts via

    • Auto Vision Systems ​

    • Resonant (Sound) Inspection Systems

    • Or, incorporate both NDT' 100% inspection techniques for your safety critical P/M components.
