Powder Metallurgy standards:Supporting the growth of a global industry
The development of standards for use in the Powder Metallurgy industry dates back to the 1930s. It wasn’t however until 1968 that the International Standards Organisation (ISO) began to adopt PM standards via the formation of Technical Committee TC 119 and today the work of that committee continues. In this article Dr Brian James looks at why the industry needs standards and highlights what purpose they serve. The development of PM standards, greatly influenced by national bodies and PM trade associations, is discussed. The article also reviews recent developments and highlights ongoing activities as standards evolve and adapt to new processes and technologies.
