Abstract

This chapter deals with the production of light alloys and composites by the powder metallurgy process. A description of the stages involved in the process is given. Light alloys and composites find in powder metallurgy a technology that allows the manufacture of parts with high precision in their production and minimum waste and where additional machining processes are not required for large batches in mass production. In combination with unconventional routes, powder metallurgy is able to synthesize advanced materials with attractive physical characteristics for the transport industry. The process is able to produce strengthened materials by the dispersion of nanometric reinforcing agents. The case study in this chapter is addressed to the use of carbon nanotubes as one of the reinforcing materials of high interest, due to their potential in developing new structural materials, such as aluminum-based composites.
