Characterization and Properties of Copper and Carbon Powders Mixture

Powder metallurgy (P/M) is one of a metal fabrication technique which involves three main stages, i.e. mixing, compaction and sintering. The P/M technique allows the blending or mixing of additives (carbon) to the base powder (copper) prior to compacting and sintering of parts. The additives will...
