Abstract
It is a well-known fact that conventional powder metallurgy, i.e., pressure-compacting of metal powders and subsequent sintering of the compact, has several severe disadvantages, such as:
-
a.
It is somewhat restricted to the production of rather small parts due to the capacity limitations of conventional presses, and due to the relatively high die cost.
-
b.
It does not permit pressing of certain complicated shapes due to the nonuniform pressure distribution in a mass of metal powders which is caused by the friction conditions prevailing during the application of pressure.
-
c.
It is economic only if applied to a relatively large-scale production, on account of the relatively high cost of the hardened steel dies.
