This new handbook is a comprehensive manual of the manufacture, properties and applications of non-ferrous metal powders. It was previously published in Russian in 1997, but now is completely updated and reflects the continuing improvements in traditional metal powder production technologies, as well as significant new coverage of emerging manufacturing methods; including the advanced technologies of the Post-USSR Countries, which were not published earlier in English. The fundamentals of the main methods of non-ferrous metal powder production, including mechanical methods, chemical and electrolytic methods, and physical-chemical methods are described and discussed. In addition to in-depth articles on powder production, testing and characterization, the book expands coverage on the secondary operations, the safety engineering in the production of powders, and advanced areas of engineering research such as nanopowder processes.
