Abstract

Abstract: Selection of appropriate material composition in the field of powder metallurgy is often difficult task as alloying element has greater effect on material properties. The paper reports the procedure for selection of material composition for powder metallurgy process. Proper material composition is observed to be a multi-criterion decision-making problem with conflicting and different objectives. For this purpose the TOPSIS (Technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution) method is used which gives ranking of the alternatives. To find optimum composition, the two number of alternative alloying martial and four criteria for material selection is used. The result from the research shows that 0.8% Carbon and 2% Copper is best composition form selected data. The procedure is illustrated using a case study.
