Advanced Powder Metallurgy Non-Ferrous Materials

The Rules of Ferrous Metallurgy

The ways in which the sciences have been delineated and categorized throughout history provide insights into the formation, stabilization, and establishment of scientific systems of knowledge. The Dresdener school’s approach for explaining and categorizing the genesis of the engineering disciplines is still valid, but needs to be complemented by further-reaching methodological and theoretical r...

Porous, Superelastic NiTi Produced by Powder-Metallurgy

Near-stoichiometric NiTi was foamed in the solid state at elevated temperatures through creep expansion of highpressure argon pores previously entrapped during powder consolidation. A sample with 17% porosity was found to be superelastic up to a compressive stress of 800 MPa.

Compressibility of 304 Stainless Steel Powder Metallurgy Materials Reinforced with 304 Short Stainless Steel Fibers

Powder metallurgy (P/M) technique is usually used for manufacturing porous metal materials. However, some P/M materials are limitedly used in engineering for their performance deficiency. A novel 304 stainless steel P/M material was produced by a solid-state sintering of 304 stainless steel powders and 304 short stainless steel fibers, which were alternately laid in layers according to mass rat...

Lead Speciation in the Dusts Emitted from Non-Ferrous Metallurgy Processes

The paper presents results for the speciation analysis of lead in dusts derived from dedusting of technological gasses from metallurgical processes of non-ferrous metals with different elementary content, made in accordance with two equal sequential extractions. Analytical procedure A provided possibilities for determination of fraction of Pb(2+), metallic lead and fraction containing mainly le...
