Review on the application of powder metallurgy materials

Powder metallurgy is a branch of metallurgy and material science, which is to make metal powder and metal powder (including a small amount of non metal powder) as raw material, and to make the material and products by sintering process. Powder metallurgy industry is one of the important parts in the mechanical industry. Powder metallurgy products according to different metal powder based and use, can be roughly divided into powder metallurgy mechanical parts, friction materials, magnetic materials, hard alloy materials, the wide application field of powder metallurgy mechanical parts, high demand and high technology content, is the leading products in the powder metallurgy industry.

With the development of modern powder metallurgy manufacturing technology, powder metallurgy products as alternative conventional metal casting, forging, machining and structure complex difficult to machining of mechanical parts, and its supporting applications continue to expand. From general machinery manufacturing to precision instruments, from hardware tools to large machinery, from the electronics industry to the motor manufacturing, from industrial and civil military industry, from the general technology to highly sophisticated technology, can see the figure of powder metallurgy technology. In the field of civil industry, powder metallurgy products has become a car, motorcycle, household appliances, electric tools, agricultural machinery, office equipment and other industries indispensable supporting basic parts.
