MPI has some of the leading technical expertise in the area of tungsten heavy alloys which are currently finding applications in the areas of counterweights, gyroscopes, long rod penetrators, radiations shields, golf clubs, electrical contact materials, etc. Some W-Cu materials are used for controlled thermal expansion alloys with a good thermal conductivity.

For use in industrial cutting tools, a variety of nozzles with intricate internal geometries, abrasive water jets, mining operations and related abrasive wear operations, sand blast nozzles, various wear parts in centrifuges, etc. Tools manufactured using tungsten carbides offer an excellent combination of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance that is not available in most engineered materials. Our focus areas include the near net shape processing of conventional WC-Co based hardmaterials and other advanced superhard material systems including cermets and composites based on a variety of ultra high hardness materials and coatings for wear and abrasion related applications. Using various PIM production methods, specialty ultrahard materials and wear parts are commercially produced at our facilities for clients around the world. Several superhard powder grades are under continuous research and development as the properties are improved and enriched.
