In this note, we will briefly explore the history of powder metallurgy and then examine the importance of powder quality to the production of nanomaterials.

Determination of specific surface area of metal powders is an important parameter in the field of powder metallurgy. In this note, we demonstrate the use of Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) technique to measure another critical metal powder property: specific surface area (SSA).

Powder metallurgy is a field of study well acquainted with particle characterization. The size distribution and shape of the powder metal particles influences the physical properties of the parts created.
