The role of MIM in t h e production of metal p a r t s in discussed. A description is given of the use of MIM of elongated a n d acicular Fe powders in a stearic acid/bee's wax binder. Various powder parameters, including particle size and shape, concentration of b i n d e r in t h e mixture, moulding temperature and temperature variation of binder viscosity were investigated. The production of defect free s p e c i m e n s w i t h a d e n s i t y of 50% was reported.
Chinese). A description, based on experimentation, of the rheological b e h a v i o u r of MIM feed stock, is given. Effects of variations in powder particle sizes a n d shapes, using a methyl cellulose binder, were studied. The viscosity/shear rate graph, plotted as logarithmic functions, is reported to be linear. The m e c h a n i c a l p r o p e r t i e s of some finished p a r t s are reported.
INJECTION MOULDING OF METAL AND CERAMIC POWDERS
Refractory metals
T. Aoba, Porima Daijesuto, Vol 43, No 4, 1991, 13-17. (In J a p a n e s e ) . The i n j e c t i o n m o u l d i n g p r o c e s s as applied to metals, magnetic materials a n d ceramics is reviewed with respect to t h e a d v a n t a g e s a n d d i s a d v a n t a g e s of t h e process a n d precautions t a k e n in practice. The key steps in the process, materials available, machinery a n d applications are considered. STUDY OF THE RHEOLOGY OF THE F E E D S T O C K FOR INJECTION MOULDING

E F F E C T S OF BORON SATURATION OF REFRACTORY METALS
Y.V. Dzyadykecich et al, Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, Vol 76,1991, 70-75. (In Russian). Factors influencing the s a t u r a t i o n of refractory metals with B were investigated with reference to t h e structural evolution of boride phases. The effects of activating additives (C a n d S) on the formation of boride coatings on refractory metal powders are reported. It is shown t h a t the s a t u r a t i o n can be e n h a n c e d by use of boride m i x t u r e s with a low B4C content.

WEAR RESISTANCE OF PM COMPONENTS IN TEXTILE MACHINES
A.I. Yuga et al. Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, No 7, 1991, 92-96. (In Russian). Simulative wear tests on a PM friction c o m p o n e n t for a t e x t i l e m a c h i n e a r e described. It is reported t h a t a b r a s s / i r o n alloy showed properties superior to o t h e r friction materials.
