| Publisher Description: Powder metallurgy is the technology of utilizing metal powders, offers the engineer a means conserving materials, reducing machining and securing a uniform product at a reasonable cost. The development in this fabrication method of making useful products has made engineers and producers do what they could not do before in the recent years. Okwuagbala Uzochukwu Mike P, an engineer in the field of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, after good experience and proper research wrote a book in this section not just considering "Powder Metallurgy" but also details out its engineering consideration and applications on copper and the alloys. Chapter 1 is "Overview on Powder Metallurgy". This covers the definition of powder metallurgy from different scholars and Metallurgy organizations. Also covered in this chapter are basic processes for achieving powder metallurgy, equipments for powder metallurgy, safety precautions during electrolysis for metal powder production, difference between powder metallurgy and casting, and advantages of powder metallurgy.In chapter 2, the interest is on the wide applications of copper powder in today's engineering and other important areas of interest. This chapter will take you far to know deep things on metallurgy of copper powder application. The chapter explains "Applications of Copper Powder" and "Metallurgy of copper powder production". Self-lubricating bearings in the recent years have been the backbone of many manufacturing companies. The new bearings that have special applications have been on high demand and have made many companies make billions of dollars as profit. Chapter 3 covers category of self-lubricating bearing and how copper powder contributes to its production. Electronic products are all over the market. Many people today are able to feed themselves as well as their loved ones because they sale electronic devices and make their profits. But, before any electronic product is made, there are components that make it a unit product. These components are produced through unique engineering manufacturing methods. And powder metallurgy of copper powder is one of them. Chapter four of this book discusses application of copper powder in Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) and Powder Metallurgy of Copper in electrical connectors. Chapter 5 is an important part of the book that anyone that has interest in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering needs to know. This section discusses the engineering application of copper powder in Production of Structural Parts. How many structural parts do you know that are manufactured through copper powder metallurgy? We hear of brass and bronze and the good works the alloys of copper have been doing in engineering production. These alloys have some places where they are applied for effective production. On the other hand, do you know how brass and bronze are made through copper powder? Above all, what about its engineering application? Chapter 6 covers brass, bronze and anti-fouling paints as products which can be made through metallurgy of copper powder. Brazing is important. It is a metal-joining process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. Application of copper powder in brazing is well explained in chapter 7.You will be studying copper powder in washers, gears and in infiltration in chapter 8. There you will learn how copper powder alloys are used in the production of gears and washers. In that same chapter, you will discover where gears made through copper powder are used most. Chapter 9 which is the last chapter is on "Copper powder in Production of Medical Implants".Grow in knowledge. Know new things on powder metallurgy. Know something great on its engineering consideration. |
