Powder metallurgy (PM) is a term covering a wide range of ways in which materials
or components are made from metal powders. PM processes can avoid, or greatly reduce, the
need to use metal removal processes, thereby drastically reducing yield losses in manufacture
and often resulting in lower costs. The powder metallurgy (PM) includes process of mixing
elemental or alloy powders, compacting the mixture in a die, and then sintering, or heating,
The objectives of this project are to understand the fabrication route of powder
metallurgy (PM). Besides, this project also to understand the theoretical concepts of powder
compaction. Moreover, this project will help us to understand the theoretical concepts of
sintering.
