Description of the PM Process by Using Ishikawa-Analysis

Composites are special material which can provide individual properties such as high strength with low density or good thermal conductivity with low thermal expansion coefficient. Composites conform to the constantly evolving and more complex expectations. In order to make a product with good quality, it is important to choose suitable materials and technology. In this research powder metallurgy (PM), as one of the most common composite manufacturing technology, was examined -which factors and mechanisms influence mostly the properties of the product. Ishikawa method was used to reveal these correlations.
