Improved properties in sintered brass may be achieved through the improvement of the raw material and processing procedure.
Recently, considerable flexibility and control have been achieved in metal atomization processes and it has now become possible to obtain pre-alloyed brass powders having highly irregular particle shapes. In the present work, pressing and sintering characteristics of brass powder produced by liquid atomization were examined and further more, in order to obtain better properties as high density machine parts, effects of lubricants on the microstructure and mechanical strength of sintered specimens were discussed.
