Handbook of Mathematical Relations in Particulate Materials Processing

By Randall M. German and Seong Jin Park

The only handbook of mathematical relations with a focus on particulate materials processing

 

The National Science Foundation estimates that over 35% of materials-related funding is now directed toward modeling. In part, this reflects the increased knowledge and the high cost of experimental work. However, currently there is no organized reference book to help the particulate materials community with sorting out various relations. This book fills that important need, providing readers with a quick-reference handbook for easy consultation.

This one-of-a-kind handbook gives readers the relevant mathematical relations needed to model behavior, generate computer simulations, analyze experiment data, and quantify physical and chemical phenomena commonly found in particulate materials processing. It goes beyond the traditional barriers of only one material class by covering the major areas in ceramics, cemented carbides, powder metallurgy, and particulate materials. In many cases, the governing equations are the same but the terms are material-specific. To rise above these differences, the authors have assembled the basic mathematics around the following topical structure:

• Powder technology relations, such as those encountered in atomization, milling, powder production, powder characterization, mixing, particle packing, and powder testing

• Powder processing, such as uniaxial compaction, injection molding, slurry and paste shaping techniques, polymer pyrolysis, sintering, hot isostatic pressing, and forging, with accompanying relations associated with microstructure development and microstructure coarsening

• Finishing operations, such as surface treatments, heat treatments, microstructure analysis, material testing, data analysis, and structure-property relations

Handbook of Mathematical Relations in Particulate Materials Processing is suited for quick reference with stand-alone definitions, making it the perfect complement to existing resources used by academic researchers, corporate product and process developers, and various scientists, engineers, and technicians working in materials processing.

Sintering of Systems with Interacting Components

By A.P. Savitskii

Materials Science Foundations (monograph series), Volumes 57–58

 

The aim of this publication is to acquaint those readers who are interested in the fundamentals of powder materials sintering, with the latest scientific achievements which are important to its successful practice. The book contains new information, not previously known in the West, as well as offering a totally fresh view of this vital issue. The work discloses to western eyes a new scientific trend in the science of sintering systems with interacting components; a trend of which many experts are unaware. The new approach will considerably enrich and advance investigations into the theory and practice of sintering and aid their further development.

A superficial survey of the book may give the impression that it is devoted to the investigation of the peculiarities of certain individual systems during sintering. Such an impression would be entirely false, because the concrete systems were mainly selected as archetypal examples via which to demonstrate the successful outcome of applying the new concepts. More detailed acquaintance with the book will convince the reader that it furnishes a deep understanding of the processes taking place during sintering in the stage where chemical equilibrium of the system is established. This largely unrecognized stage is the principal one in interacting systems.

The essence of the new concepts is explained as simply as possible, and in every detail, and is sure to be welcomed by researchers and specialists, as well as by students and practicing engineers.

Powder Metallurgy:
The Preferred
Metal-Forming
Solution

A DVD showcasing the capabilities of the various technologies known collectively as PM

 

Powder Metallurgy: The Preferred Metal-Forming Solution, is a video showcasing the fabrication capabilities of the various technologies known collectively as powder metallurgy (PM), available on DVD. The 13-minute production, built on the theme, “Every day, in some way, PM touches your life,” uses dozens of examples of actual components manufactured for many different applications to illustrate the benefits PM offers parts designers and engineers.

The video is aimed principally at potential end users who may not be familiar with the capabilities of conventional PM, metal injection molding (MIM), hot isostatic pressing (HIP), and other PM technologies. Using a contemporary narrated soundtrack and imagery, the piece serves as a brief introduction to the real-world advantages of these state-of the-art forming processes, with particular emphasis on their contributions to the concept of sustainability.

PM parts producers will find the DVD an indispensable tool with which to equip their sales and marketing personnel. It is an ideal vehicle to use as a seminar introductory piece. What’s more, companies involved in any aspect of PM can use it to orient all employees, as it quickly stimulates an appreciation of the value they bring to customers’ products.

The new program was produced under the auspices of the MPIF Industry Development Board with funding provided by the Metal Powder Producers Association.
