Effect of different pressure on densification of sintered parts / Aqil Abdul Wahab

Pressure during compaction is the most important parameter in powder metallurgy application since it contributes to the physical and mechanical property of the part. This study attempts to investigate the effect of different compaction pressure on densification of sintered part and the characterizat...
