2. Design Considerations of powder metallurgy

3. Process of Powder Metallurgy

4. Pros and Cons of Powder metallurgy

   Pros: A wide range of powder composition Near net shape No waste Control porosity Dimensional control is better than casting Cons: High cost of tooling and powders powders are difficult to handle size limitation density variations
