Abstract

Powder metallurgy (P/M) has emerged as a source of new and viable manufacturing processes—with compelling economic and technical advantages over conventional ingot metallurgy practice. As well as delineating historical milestones and profiling today’s industry, this article reviews the modern approaches to powder production and consolidation from both the scientific and technological viewpoints. Some relationships between powder processing, microstructure and mechanical properties are discussed, with particular emphasis on the specialty alloys. Finally, an objective look at the interface between powder metallurgy and rapid solidification is presented.
