High density powder metallurgy design concepts for powder forging

  • Published:
Journal of Materials Shaping Technology

Abstract

The forging of powder metal compacted preforms to full density has evolved as an extension of the conventional powder metal process. Indentification and evaluation of the variables in the powder forging process is required to optimize each step of the process, from the powder to the product. Optimization leads to both maximum product quality and minimum process variation.
