<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Powder metallurgy (PM) is a popular metal forming technology used to produce dense and precision components. Different powder and component forming routes can be used to create an end product with specific properties for a particular application or industry. Advances in powder metallurgy explores a range of materials and techniques used for powder metallurgy and the use of this technology across a variety of application areas. <p/>Part one discusses the forming and shaping of metal powders and includes chapters on atomisation techniques, electrolysis and plasma synthesis of metallic nanopowders. Part two goes on to highlight specific materials and their properties including advanced powdered steel alloys, porous metals and titanium alloys. Part three reviews the manufacture and densification of PM components and explores joining techniques, process optimisation in powder component manufacturing and non-destructive evaluation of PM parts. Finally, part four focusses on the applications of PM in the automotive industry and the use of PM in the production of cutting tools and biomaterials. <p/>Advances in powder metallurgy is a standard reference for structural engineers and component manufacturers in the metal forming industry, professionals working in industries that use PM components and academics with a research interest in the field.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Isaac Chang is Head of Education in the School of Metallurgy and Materials at the University of Birmingham, UK. His research interests range from advanced consolidation and alloy development of commercial micron-sized powders for pore-free engineering components to novel green synthesis of nanoparticles with well controlled structure and composition for industrial applications in transportation, energy, health care, defense and electronic sectors. <BR> Yuyuan Zhao is Reader in Materials Engineering at the University of Liverpool, UK. His current research projects are developing the patented Lost Carbonate Sintering (LCS) process for manufacturing porous metals, studying the mechanical, thermal, electrical, acoustic and biological properties of porous metals and metal matrix syntactic foams and exploring their feasibility for applications in energy, automotive, defense, aerospace, building and biomedical industries.
