Powder Metallurgy Steel Forgings for Small Arm Applications,

Abstract

Powder metallurgy (P/M) steel forging is a relatively new fabrication process. Although experimental activities date back to the early 1960's, it was not until the early 1970's that the process was fully developed as a viable manufacturing technique. The process combines the advantages of fabricating net or near-net shape parts using conventional P/M processing and of property enhancement achieved by subsequent forging. (Author)
