Sintered Metallic and Ceramic Materials: Preparation, Properties and Applications

Sintering is fast becoming one of the most important industrial techniques for optimising the capabilities of different materials.
Sintered Metallic and Ceramic Materials gives comprehensive coverage of the state–of–the–art of the processing of sintered materials, both metallic and ceramic. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between the composition of the material, the powder processing techniques used and the properties of the materials and the applications of end products.
Materials covered include: ferrous (low and high alloy steels) and nonferrous (light and heavy) alloys, rare earth intermetallics, ceramics (oxide and nonoxide) and cermets. The various applications of sintered materials in the automotive, aerospace and defence, machine tool and power industries and in magnetic, electrical and electronic applications are discussed in the final chapter.
The book will be used by engineers working with sintering techniques and sintered materials and engineering students studying powder metallurgy. The author is internationally renowned for his work on sintering and sintered materials.
