Powder Metallurgy Overcomes Economic Difficulties

摘要

The state of the production of metallic and ceramic powders (including nano-dimensional powders) and of articles fabricated from these powders in North America is discussed. New technologies that produce an increase in the density and improvement in the mechanical properties of powder-based articles are considered. Technological developments and articles for which prizes were awarded by the North American Metal Powders Industry Federation in 2003 arc adduced.
