Determination of dynamic elastic properties of powder metallurgy components

Powder metal (P/M) alloys and composites processed through the P/M route are emerging as potential materials for both commercial as well as advanced aerospace applications. These materials offer advantages of unique microstructures and near net shape manufacturing. Some high temperature materials such as intermetallic alloys and composites are difficult to process by traditional ingot metallurgy. Near net shape manufacturing using P/M processes has emerged as a promising method for manufacturing quality components out of these materials
