Definition of Powder Definition of Powder MetallurgyMetallurgyPowder metallurgy may defined
as, “the art and science of producing metal powders and utilizing them to make serviceable objects.”
ORIt may also be defined as
“material processing technique used to consolidate particulate matter i.e. powders both metal and/or non-metals.”

Importance of P/M:The methods of powder metallurgy have
permitted the attainment of compositions and properties not possible by the conventional methods of melting and casting.
Powder metallurgy is an alternative, economically viable mass production method for structural components to very close tolerance.
Powder metallurgy techniques produce some parts which can’t be made by any other method.

The process of P/M is the process of producing metallic parts from metallic powders of a single metal, of several metals or of a combination of metals and non-metals by applying pressure. The powders are mixed mechanically, compacted into a particular shape and then heated at elevated temperature below the melting point of the main constituent.

Process of Powder Metallurgy:The process of P/M in general consists of a series of
steps/stages to form a final shape. These stages are shown by a simple flow sheet diagram.

* Powder Metallurgy (P/M) is an improved alternative method as compared to Industrial Metallurgy (I/M) being more economical for large production series with precision of design and savings of energy, material and labor. Further it is a unique method for producing cermets, cutting tools, nuclear fuel elements, self- lubricating, copper-graphite brushes etc.

Advantages of P/M for Structural Components:These may be classified into two main headings;
(a) Cost advantages, and
(b) Advantages due to particular properties of sintered components.
Cost Advantages:(i) Zero or minimal scrap;
(ii) Avoiding high machining cost in mass production as irregularly shaped holes, flats, splines, counter bores, involute gear teeth, key-ways can be molded into the components;
(iii) Extremely good surface finish at very low additional cost after sizing and coining;
(iv) very close tolerance without a machining operation;
(v) Assembly of two or more parts (by I/M) can be made in one piece;
(vi) Separate parts can be combined before sintering.
