Potentials for Powder Metallurgy Products in Military Applications

Abstract

The potentials for the use of powder metallurgy by the Army are described in the paper in terms of: Recent developments in the technology of the powder metallurgy process, including powder production, consolidation and sintering, and attainment of high performance properties; Possible applications in Army Mission Areas; Specific illustrations of research and development activities in the Army aimed at utilizing the process for military applications. The paper concentrates primarily on the forging of low alloy steel preforms. Also it touches briefly on the status of titanium and superalloy powder metallurgy materials.
