The Development and Applications of Powder Metallurgy Manufacturing Methods in Automotive Industry
Abstract
Over the past decade,
automotive industry has developed considerably faster than other sectors in
direction of consumers' demands. In order to provide worldwide emission standards,
focusing on new technologies and enhancing fuel efficiency is emerged as a new
trend among automobile manufacturers. Producing more efficient, lighter and
eco-friendly cars without compromising performance and comfort has been the
main goal of automotive industry in recent years. The high technology
requirements of passenger cars with internal combustion engines as well as in
hybrid and electric cars have directed the companies in sector to investigate
alternative production methods. When compared with conventional manufacturing
processes, powder metallurgy (PM) production methods are increasingly preferred
by automobile manufacturers as they allow both profitability and part
production in some special applications. In this review paper, it is aimed to
give information about the development and application of PM methods in
automotive sector.
