This research involves a study of sane of the methods available for covering material substrates with a metallic coating. The materials studied were metal and ceramic powders, and the research attempted to produce composite powders, which could be used in the powder metallurgy industries as cheaper replacements for existing expensive powders. For example, iron powder particles coated with copper/tin could replace expensive bronze powders in machine bearing production.
