Here’s a quick overview of different PM processes that can be found at Metal Powder Industries Federation's site, www.mpif.org (select Intro to PM and then processes). For an in-depth discussion of ...

The chief raw materials used in the production of powder metallurgy components are the metal powders. These consist of fine, high purity metal powders produced by processes such as atomisation, ...

In many, but not all cases, the PM process transforms metal powder into components used for structural applications, for example, gears, bearings, connecting rods, and parts used in medical ...

Forming sheet metal is one of the most critical processes in fabricating and manufacturing parts and components. In sheet metal forming, metals are reshaped in their solid state while they are still ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...
