Abstract
Abstract The author diseusses the current status of PM stainless steel parts production in the USA and developments likely to influence the future. Processing parameters and market-segment analysis are presented to show progress over nearly two decades. Application limitations to mildly corrosive environments are recognized. Recent studies of powder particle surface chemistry explain some of the historical performance limitations. Alloy composition and processing methods, applicable to the existing PM industry, offer substantially improved corrosion resistance. Potential market segments and marketing requirements are discussed. PM/0178
