Asm Handbook: Powder Metal Technologies and Applications

Covers all areas of powder production, sampling, characterization, shaping, consolidation, sintering, quality control, machining, heat treating, and PM applications. For practical engineering information on sintering practices, tool design, P/M metallography, dimensional control, part design, powders, binders, lubricants, and the processing, properties, and performance of P/M materials in different production technologies and applications.

In recognition of the ongoing development and growth of powder metallurgy (P/M) materials, methods, and applications, ASM International offers the new Volume 7 of ASM Handbook. Powder Metal Technologies and Applications is a completely revised and updated edition of Powder Metallurgy, Volume 7 of the 9th Edition Metals Handbook, published in 1984. This new volume provides comprehensive updates that reflect the continuing improvements in traditional P/M technologies as well as significant new coverage of emerging P/M materials and manufacturing methods.
