Powder metallurgy (PM) components are widely used in the auto industry due to the advantage of net-shape forming, low cost, and high efficiency. Still, usage of PM components is limited in the auto industry when encountering rigorous situations, like heavy load, due to lower strength, hardness, wear resistance, and other properties compared to wrought components due to the existence of massive ...

EFFECTIVE COMPUTER SIMULATIONS of metal powder compaction and sintering are at the top of the powder metallurgy industry’s wish list. There is much anticipated advantage to such efforts, yet there are problems that will inhibit widespread implementation. Press-sinter powder metallurgy computer simulations currently focus on the use of minimal input data to help with process setup. Although the ...

Magnesium matrix composites are very attractive materials for various applications of aerospace, defence organizations and automotive industry due to their low density, good mechanical and physical properties. The improvement of specific strength, stiffness, damping behaviour, wear behaviour, creep and fatigue properties are significantly influenced by the addition of reinforcing elements into ...

The present study focuses on the formation of harmonic microstructures in a metastable β titanium alloy, β-Cez alloy (Ti-5Al-2Sn-4Zr-4Mo-2Cr-1Fe – Tβ = 895 °C). Previous studies emphasized mainly fabrication and improvements mechanical properties alloys prepared by powder metallurgy showing structure. In this study, structure was obtained after milling initial powder, followed Spark Plasma Sint...
