NEW RESEARCH DIRECTIONS IN POWDER METALLURGY

Abstract

Abstract. An overview on the present research and development directions in Powder Metallurgy (PM) is realized. There are analysed investigations focused on the mechanical properties of sintered structural parts improving, for overcoming the PM limitations concerning the complex shape and large parts realization as well as for the advanced materials obtaining, like nanocrystalline materials, intermetallics and composites, the most recent methods for this purpose being considered.
