MPIF launches microstructures website The MPIF has launched a website covering powder metallurgy microstructures. Aimed at assisting PM parts manufacturers and the end-user community to interpret PM microstructures, the website will help build appreciation of what a powerful tool metallography can be when engineering new components, designing new materials, solving various types of quality
problems and in quality control, the organization says. The website allows users to reference materials processed by conventional sintering, elevated temperature sintering and accelerated cooling rates to determine phase and structures of the materials. Specimen preparation and proper selection of etchants is also covered.
