Examination of Mechanical Properties of B4C Particulate Reinforced Aluminum MMC Under Different Loading Conditions

Powder Metallurgy is a highly evolved method of manufacturing reliable net shaped components by blending elemental or pre-alloyed powders together, compacting this blend in a die and sintering or heating the pressed part in a controlled atmosphere furnace to bond the particles metallurgically. The P/M process is a unique part fabrication method that is highly cost effective in producing simple or complex parts at final dimensions
