The aim of the book is to present knowledge for an overview of all interacting factors in the machining process, including those for improving machinability. They include the properties of basic plain iron and alloyed powders, various additions, compacting and sintering conditions. The effect of porosity, individual alloying elements and microstructure character is considered
