Extract

It is a very well known fact that there exists a narrow relationship between the structure and the properties of materials.

Structure can be modified by changing the composition of the material and for a selected composition by adapting its elaboration process. Powder metallurgy (P/M) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) can be part of the elaboration process and permit to realize mono or multi-materials with or without complex shapes which can eventually be characterized by specific properties which are not possible to be obtained through the conventional metallurgy road.

The objective of this presentation is to illustrate this through a few examples.
