Foreword 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. The ASM Handbook Committee, the editors, the authors, and the reviewers have collaborated to produce a book that meets the high technical standards of the ASM Handbook series. In addition to in-depth articles on production, testing and characterization, and consolidation of powders, the new volume expands coverage on the performance of P/M materials, part shaping methods, secondary operations, and advanced areas of engineering research such as process modeling. This extensive coverage is designed to foster increased awareness of the current status and potential of P/M technologies. To all who contributed toward the completion of this task, we extend our sincere thanks. Alton D. Romig, Jr. President, ASM International Michael J. DeHaemer Managing Director, ASM International Preface On behalf of the ASM Handbook Committee, it is a pleasure to introduce this fully revised and updated edition of Volume 7, Powder Metal Technologies and Applications as part of the ASM Handbook series. Since the first publication of Volume 7 in 1984 as part of the 9th Edition Metals Handbook, substantial new methods, technologies, and applications have occurred in powder metallurgy. These developments reflect the continuing growth of powder metallurgy (P/M) as a technology for net-shape fabrication, new materials, and innovative manufacturing processes and engineering practices. Net-shape or near-net-shape fabrication is a key objective in many P/M applications. Many factors influence the economics and performance of P/M fabrication, and new methods and process improvements are constantly considered and developed. In this regard, the new Volume 7 provides completely updated information on several emerging technologies for powder shaping and consolidation. Examples include all new articles on powder injection molding, binder assisted extrusion, warm compaction, spray forming, powder extrusion, pneumatic isostatic forging, field activated sintering, cold sintering, and the consolidation of ultrafine and nanocrystalline materials. New articles also cover process modeling of injection molding, isostatic pressing, and rigid die compaction. Traditional press-and-sinter fabrication and high-density consolidation remain the major topic areas in the new Volume 7. This coverage includes new articles in several practical areas such as resin impregnation, dimensional control, machining, welding, heat treatment, and metallography of P/M materials. The traditional processes of rigid die compaction and sintering are also covered extensively with several updated articles on major production factors such as tooling, die design, compressibility and compaction, sintering practices, and atmosphere control. An overview article, "Powder Shaping and Consolidation Technologies," also compares and summarizes the alternatives and factors that can influence the selection of a P/M manufacturing method. Coverage is also expanded on high-density consolidation and high- performance P/M materials such as powder forged steels. Multiple articles on powder production and characterization methods have also been revised or updated in several key areas. The article on atomization is fully revised from the previous edition, and several new articles have been added to the Section "Metal Powder Production and Characterization." In particular, the new article by T. Allen, "Powder Sampling and Classification," is a key addition that provides essential information for accurate characterization of particle size distributions. The variability of sieve analysis is also covered in more detail in this new Volume. The new Volume 7 also provides detailed performance and processing information on a wide range of advanced and conventional P/M materials. Ferrous P/M materials are covered in several separate articles, and more detailed information on corrosion, wear, fatigue, and mechanical properties are discussed in separate articles. New articles also provide information on several advanced materials such as aluminum-base composites and reactive-sintered intermetallics. This extensive volume would not have been possible without the guidance of the section editors and the dedicated efforts of the contributing authors. I would also like to thank Erhard Klar for organizing the previous edition, which formed the core for the structure of the new edition. Finally, special thanks are extended to ASM staff particularly to project editor Steve Lampman for their dedicated efforts in developing and producing this Volume. Peter W.

White, Metal Powder Industries Federation and APMI International Introduction POWDER METALLURGY has been called a lost art. Unlike clay and other ceramic materials, the art of molding and firing practical or decorative metallic objects was only occasionally applied during the early stages of recorded history. Sintering of metals was entirely forgotten during the succeeding centuries, only to be revived in Europe at the end of the 18th century, when various methods of platinum powder production were recorded (Table 1).
