194 Engineering Materials Technology
With hot extrusion the hot metal is forced, under pressure, to flow through a
die,
i.e. a shaped orifice (Figure 10.17). It is rather like squeezing toothpaste
out of its tube. Quite complex sections can be extruded.

10.4 Powder techniques
Shaped metal components can be produced from a metal powder. The process,
called sintering, involves compacting the power in a die, then heating to a
temperature high enough to knit together the particles in the powder.
Sintering of tungsten takes place at about 1600°C, considerably below the
melting point of
3410°C.
The sintering temperatur ...
