QUESTIONS ? ? 17.1 Describe briefly the production steps involved in making powdermetallurgy parts. Answer (from page #_440____): ? Metal parts are made by compacting fine metal powders in suitable dies and sintering, that is, heating without melting. This process is called powder metallurgy (P/M).? 17.2 Name the various methods of powder production, and explain the types of powders produced. Answer (from page #__443,444___): ? 1. Atomization: The size of the particles formed depends on the temperature of the metal, the rate of flow, the nozzle size, and jet characteristics. In one variation of this method a consumable electrode is rotated rapidly in a helium-filled chamber. The centrifugal force breaks up the molten tip of the electrode into metal particles. Spherical (atomization Carbonyl (Fe), precipitation from a liquid) 2. Reduction: The powders produced by this method are spongy and porous, and they have uniformly sized spherical or angular shapes. 3. Electrolytic deposition: The powders produced are among the purest available. 4. Carbonyls: Powders are small, dense, uniformly spherical particles of high purity. 5. Comminution: Powder particles produced have angular shapes; with ductile metals, they are flaky, and they are not particularly suitab
