This technique is very old from melting and casting. The Qutub Minar is one of the living examples of powder metallurgy technique. Today the powder metallurgy have the high growth rate by saving in materials and machining cost, high productivity and often gives improved performance by improved structure and properties. The modern powder metallurgy technology started in eighteen century for production of carbides, porous bearings and filters. During the World War-II there lot of development in the ferrous, non ferrous and composite materials. In the area of the structural it is head to head competition with other methods of manufacturing. It is the choice when requirements for strength, wear resistance high operating temperatures. Powder metallurgy is the more precision production tool as compare to casting. By this process non equilibrium materials such as amorphous, microcrystalline/metastable alloys also produce by powder metallurgy route. This process is more economical when production rates are higher and it’s tooling cost quit appreciable. Today the automotive industry, merine, hardware tools, business machines, military products and aerospace industries are the largest consumers of P/M products. The process of powder metallurgy is ecologically clean, does not generate smoke or any waste and it is the future tool of production. In this paper an attempt have been made to review the powder metallurgy production process and its state of the art applications.
