Introduction to Powder Metallurgy

Powder metallurgy is the process technology of producing metal powders or using metal powders (or mixtures of metal powders and non-metal powders) as raw materials, forming and sintering to manufacture metal materials, composite materials and various types of products. Powder metallurgy method and the production of ceramics have similarities, both belong to the powder sintering technology, therefore, a series of new powder metallurgy technology can also be used for the preparation of ceramic materials. Due to the advantages of powder metallurgy technology, it has become the key to solving the problem of new materials and plays a pivotal role in the development of new materials.

Powder metallurgy includes powder making and products. Powder metallurgy is mainly a metallurgical process, and literally coincides with. Powder metallurgy products, on the other hand, are often far beyond the scope of materials and metallurgy, and are often interdisciplinary (materials and metallurgy, mechanics and mechanics, etc.) technology. In particular, modern metal powder 3D printing, mechanical engineering, CAD, reverse engineering technology, layered manufacturing technology, CNC technology, materials science, laser technology in one, so that powder metallurgy products technology has become a modern integrated technology across more disciplines.
