The manufacture and use of the powders of non-ferrous metals has been taking place for man years in what was previously Soviet Russia, and a huge amount of knowledge and experienc has built up in that country over the last fifty years or so. Originally published in Russia b several prominent scientists, researchers and engineers, this was the first book publishe specifically on non-ferrous metal powders, their classification, properties, treatment methoc and production. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and include new content on the powders themselves, as well as such newer methods as 3D printing.
Covers the manufacturing methods, properties and importance of the following metals: aluminium, titanium, magnesium, copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, noble metals, rare earth metals, lead, tin and bismuth.
• Includes new content on recent advances such as additive manufacturing and 3D printing of non-ferrous metal alloys, and specific powders for advanced techniques, including metal injection molding technologies.
• In addition to in-depth coverage of powder production, testing and characterization, the book continues to expand coverage of such topics as safety engineering in the production of powders and advanced areas of engineering research such as nanopowder processes.
