This paper reviewed several recent progresses of the new powder metallurgy technology known as flake (FPM) including different processing routes, conventional FPM (C-FPM), slurry blending (SB), shift-speed ball milling (SSBM), and high-shear pre-dispersion SSBM (HSPD/SSBM). The name was derived from use metal powders obtained by low-speed (LSBM) spherical powder. In this case, uniformity reinfo...

Metal matrix composite has been used widely in some applications such as the automotive and aerospace industries. In this work, Aluminum/Fly ash material was made with an egg yolk space holder manufacturing process successfully carried out. The includes mixing, stirring, drying, sintering processes that were undertaken including powder metallurgy method. metal form fabricated however hardness t...

Studies have been conducted to find Materials with microstructures which Minimize the formation of blisters. A promising class of materials appears to be sintered metal powder with small average grain sizes and low atomic number Z. Studies of the surface erosion of sintered aluminum powder (SAP 895) and of aluminum held at AOO'C due to blistering by 100 keV helium ions have been conducted and t...

A powder metallurgy route to the fabrication of metallic glass foam is introduced. The method involves consolidating metallic glass powder blended with blowing agent particulates to produce expandable precursors, capable of yielding foams with porosities as high as 86%. The foams are found to inherit the strength of the parent metallic glass, and to be able to deform heavily toward full densifi...

While preparing the composite preform in the powder metallurgy Lab, the various defects due to porosity, open crack and residual stresses are possible. This may lead to poor life and strength of materials. It is difficult to predict the defects in the form of pores physically in the powder metallurgy Lab. To simplify this kind of problem, the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images are genera...

Powder Metallurgy (PM) has advanced considerably during the last seventy years. This paper describes the conventional press & sinter process used for manufacturing highly sophisticated net-shape metal components. It highlights process advantages and the effects derived from material or process choices. Those choices must be understood when designing PM components since they significantly effect...

INTRODUCTION JET-Fresh (Dentsply International, York, PA), a new airpolishing powder that contains aluminum trihydroxide as the abrasive agent, has been introduced for use with Prophy-Jet trade mark (Dentsply International). PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the surface effects of aluminum trihydroxide airpolishing powder on a series of restorative materials. MATERIALS AND ME...
