The statement of sintering "The thermal treatment of a powder or compact, at a temperature below the melting point of the main constituent for the purpose of increasing its strength" is given by

Which of the following components can be manufactured by powder metallurgy technique?

Advantages of Casting are: (I) Can create complex part geometries, 3-D shapes (II) Can create both external and internal shapes and large hollow shapes (III) It is a near net shape process for small to large parts (IV) Very good mechanical strength can be obtained for as-cast component

During hot isostatic pressing of powder particulates, the pressure and temperatures are

Density in sintering product is improved by
