Definition

A manufacturing route that produces metal components by producing and preparing metal powders (atomization, reduction, mechanical alloying), shaping them (compaction, pressing, or additive-bed placement) and consolidating the green compact by thermal and/or pressure-assisted steps (sintering, liquid-phase sintering, hot isostatic pressing) to obtain near‑net‑shape parts with controlled microstruct
