Introduction to powder metallurgy
Powder metallurgy is the process of making metal powder or using metal powder (or the mixture of metal powder and non-metal powder) as raw materials, through forming and sintering, manufacturing metal materials, composite materials and various types of products. Powder metallurgy is similar to ceramic production in that it belongs to powder sintering technology. Therefore, a series of new powder metallurgy technologies can also be used for the preparation of ceramic materials. Due to the advantages of powder metallurgy technology, it has become the key to solve the problem of new materials and plays an important role in the development of new materials.
Powder metallurgy includes making powder and products. Pulverization is mainly a metallurgical process, and the literal anastomosis. Powder metallurgy products, on the other hand, are often far beyond the scope of materials and metallurgy, and are often interdisciplinary (materials and metallurgy, mechanical and mechanics, etc.) technologies. In particular, modern metal powder 3D printing integrates mechanical engineering, CAD, reverse engineering technology, layered manufacturing technology, numerical control technology, material science, laser technology, making powder metallurgy products technology become a modern comprehensive technology across more disciplines.
