Here’s a quick overview of different PM processes that can be found at Metal Powder Industries Federation's site, www.mpif.org (select Intro to PM and then processes). For an in-depth discussion of ...

Compared to classic testing applications, hardness testing in powder metallurgy needs completely different procedures and parameters. Samples must be prepared well to permit the hardness test and ...

Advances in PM over the years have steadily expanded its market, and now the technology is poised to start taking over other parts-manufacturing processes. This file type includes high-resolution ...

Powder is a collection of single solid particles, which in most cases may be considered a basic unit. Powder is typically comprised of solid particles, interparticle voids, as well as open and closed ...

This application note presents the types of core materials used in power inductors. It also briefly discusses the core saturation, core loss, as well as the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). This ...

Scientists and engineers have developed a one-step method involving sandpaper and powder to make robust superhydrophobic materials. Want a surface that won't get wet? Grab some sandpaper. Rice ...

Soft magnetic materials (materials that can easily be magnetized) come in many forms. For switchmode power supply flyback transformers and chokes, we would consider gapped ferrites, Iron powder, ...
