Deformation of powder metallurgy materials in cold and hot forming Review Article

The purpose of the paper is to present the theory of deformation of P/M materials. The paper has a review character and can be useful for scientists working in modeling of P/M materials. The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part the thermodynamics of deformation of P/M materials are recalled. In the second one the thermo-plasticity of powder metals are discussed.
