Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Powder metallurgy, commonly designated by its initial letters asPM or PM, may be defined as the production of useful artefacts from metal powder without passing through the molten state. This introductory text examines the processes by which these powders are produced, and explores their behaviour in the subsequent consolidation stages.
Includes bibliographical references (page 163) and index.
Introduction -- Why make things from powder? -- Powder manufacture -- Powder properties, characterization and mixing -- Compaction -- Sintering -- Post-sintering operations -- Compositions, mechanical properties and testing procedures -- Porous PM Components -- Special products and other compositions -- Wrought PM products and other specialities.
