Powder metallurgy stainless steel structural parts, such as using 304L powder metallurgy materials to make parts for automatic dishwashers and washing machines, 316L powder metallurgy materials to make push-out plates for refrigerator icemakers, and 410L powder metallurgy materials to make limit switches and clutches for household washing Powder metallurgy copper-based alloys are also widely used in bowl machines, clothes dryers, washing machines, sewing machines, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, food mixers and electric fans.

The washing machine industry is currently mainly automatic washing machines. The fully automatic washing machines currently on the market are roughly divided into three categories: the front-mounted side-door drum washing machine invented in Europe, the top-opening washing machine invented by Asians, and the washing machine invented in North America. "Stirring" washing machines, in which many powder metallurgy parts are used, and there are also examples of changing steel parts to powder metallurgy parts. For example, the United States General Electric Company cuts two of the transmissions of "stirring" automatic washing machines. Steel parts: locked tubes and spin tubes, redesigned into powder metallurgy parts, improved production costs and product quality, and reduced production costs for materials, labor, management costs, and waste loss, and total annual savings More than $250,000.
