Which process uses atomized metal powders for the manufacturing of discontinuously reinforced MMC? Correct Answer Powder metallurgy
In powder metallurgy, atomized metal particles are blended with declustered particulates. or whiskers. The declustering involves stirring of the liquid suspension of reinforcement in an ultrasonic bath and this blended mixture is compacted in a die and is vacuum hot pressed to form a cylinder structure. After the temperature is raised above the solidus temperature of the matrix alloy, the pressure is applied in the hot press for forming the discontinuously reinforced MMC.
