Powder Metallurgy (PM) has advanced considerably during the last seventy years. This paper describes the conventional press & sinter process used for manufacturing highly sophisticated net-shape metal components. It highlights process advantages and the effects derived from material or process choices. Those choices must be understood when designing PM components since they significantly effect...

The article explains the term powder metallurgyand defines main differences from classical methods of metallurgy. Historical aspects development metallurgy technologies since ancient times are described. technological and their application for production modern products presented. areas various types listed

The supply chain for metal powders used in additive manufacturing (AM) is currently experiencing exponential growth and with this growth come new powder suppliers, new powder manufacturing methods and increased competition. The high number of potential supply chain options provides AM service providers with a significant challenge when making decisions on powder procurement. This paper provides...

Due to the large thermal neutron absorption cross section of 10B, B4C-Al composites have been used as neutron absorbing materials in nuclear industries, which can offer not only good neutron shielding performance but also excellent mechanical properties. The distribution of B4C particles affects the mechanical performance and efficiency of the thermal neutron absorption of the composite materia...

When a metallic powder is subjected to a suffkiently high pressure a certain amount of adhesion takes place between individual particles. If this compact i s then sintered the bond is improved by diflusion and intergranular grain growth. The earliest known platinum objects were fabricated by such a powder metallurgical process, and when European scientists first addressed the problem of manufac...
