Powder Metallurgy
Powder Metallurgy (PM) is one of the main production routes. The PM advantages include high production rate, low cost, close tolerances, and complex shape productions.
Theory of Powder Metallurgy
Powder Metallurgy (PM) is one of the main production routes. There are some specific advantages made this proceduction method quite attractive. The PM advantages include high production rate, low cost, close tolerances, and complex shape productions. It is a low energy consumption method with a great efficiency. Today, a big proportion of auto parts with a great variety shape and complexity are produce by PM technique.
PM is originated to very old days when metals melting technique was quite limited. In old times, metal workers used to reduce sponge metal oxide particles at high temperatures and then compact them by forging to different parts.
