Three main areas in the engineering of structural powder materials related to the control of pore-space morphology, formation of perfect contacts, and optimization of solid-phase structure are discussed. The causes behind the effect of pores on the strength of both brittle materials and materials with high fracture toughness are analyzed. The formation of high-quality contact is analyzed in the context of structurization and evolution of interparticle boundaries at different production stages. The structural optimization of powder materials is discussed considering, as an example, the grain refinement and formation of nanostructured materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
