Here’s a quick overview of different PM processes that can be found at Metal Powder Industries Federation's site, www.mpif.org (select Intro to PM and then processes). For an in-depth discussion of ...

Multi-faceted powder characterization, including measurement of dynamic properties, can be used to correlate powder properties and process performance to support equipment selection, optimization, and ...

In the late 1980s, Binder Jetting (BJ), or powder-liquid three-dimensional printing (3DP), was developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Licensing this technology to several sectors ...

In many, but not all cases, the PM process transforms metal powder into components used for structural applications, for example, gears, bearings, connecting rods, and parts used in medical ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

Forming sheet metal is one of the most critical processes in fabricating and manufacturing parts and components. In sheet metal forming, metals are reshaped in their solid state while they are still ...
