Effectiveness of Micro Porous Metal Components with Functionally Graded Structures

Materials Science Forum2005

Introduction：
The combination of highly dense and porous structures is promising for materials with a high mechanical properties and high functionality. However the control of pore size and its distribution is not easy in practice and much more so the production of porous graded metals with complicated shapes.
The aim of this study is to develop the manufacturing method based on metal powder injection molding for micro-sized porous metal components with high functionally graded structure.
