Publisher's Synopsis
Powder metallurgy is a metal-forming process performed by heating compacted metal powders just below their melting points. Although the process has existed for more than 100 years, over the past quarter-century it has become widely recognized as a superior way of producing high-quality parts for a variety of important applications. This success is due to the advantages the process offers over other metal forming technologies such as forging and metal casting, advantages in material utilization, shape complexity, near-net-shape dimensional control, among others. These, in turn, contribute to sustainability, making powder metallurgy a recognized green technology.
This book includes:
- Overview on powder metallurgy
- Applications of copper powder
- The category of self-lubricating bearing
- Products can be made through the metallurgy of copper powder
