Abstract
Powder metallurgy is a metalworking technology used for producing parts from
metal powder. It's advantages include part design flexibility and the ability
to produce net or near-net shaped parts. This video illustrates the physical
and mechanical methods used to produce metal powders, as well as an in-depth
discussion of the common part production processes--mechanical pressing and
sintering, metal injection molding, and hot and cold isostatic pressing. Through
the use of shop floor footage and animations, each of these processes is explained
in detail, providing a clear understanding of the similarities and differences
between each of them. Secondary operations are also featured.
