To this end Springer - Verlag decided to publish the new Group VIII Landolt - Börnstein Series with the title Advanced Materials and Technologies. As in all its history the scope of Landolt - Börnstein data collections is the authoritative coverage of critically evaluated and reviewed data on physical, chemical and technical properties, including information available from technical standards, industry catalogues and brochures, conference proceedings, research reports and scientific journals. Powder metallurgical technologies and material properties have been thoroughly treated in the 6th edition of Landolt - Börnstein some 35 years ago in Volume IV/2b in German language. Yet, many changes in technology and numerous material innovations suggested a new approach instead of an update. As with so many other production technologies too, powder metallurgy is not a homogenous set of equal processing steps for each and every material, but a collective term to denote a vast variety of totally different production methods in powder manufacturing and powder processing. Even within a single material system like steel the multitude of methods to manufacture, shape and consolidate powder cannot be surveyed by a single individual any more. The reason for this is the relative youth of the technology, its fast growth during the last three decades and its immense flexibility which makes it a small volume problem solver not noticed by the broader engineering community. For many applications powder metallurgy (PM) is the only way to economically produce so called impossible materials, e. g. homogenous fine grained immiscible materials, nanomaterials, highly alloyed segregation free tool steels or nickel base alloys, functionally graded materials, bonded hard materials or rare earth hard magnets, just to name few. The border lines in defining powder metallurgy are drawn pragmatically by unwritten conventions: Powdered materials and their processing for sprayed surface coatings are for example generally not attributed to PM, spray forming of performs for semifinished products is related to PM. This view will certainly be perceived as inconsistent by readers and users of the present volume as far as they are not familiar with the technology, yet, this perspective has historically developed as the two disciplines are covered by different professional societies. Other thematic inconsistencies will be noticed by those who search unsuccessfully for data that could not be included here. Because of the complexity of the topic, at a very early stage it became obvious that no single person would be willing or able to undertake the task of issuing Powder Metallurgy Data. Therefore, the Joint Committee on Powder Metallurgy formed by five German professional societies (DGM, DKG, VDEh, FPM and VDI - W) tried to motivate the authors for a collective approach, each of whom is an expert in his field. This was the only possibility to gather the widespread information which is contained in scientific journals only to a very minor percentage. The majority of the data was available only through conference proceedings, company literature and the internationally very different standards on PM materials. For several groups of materials, particularly the newer developments and processes that are practiced exclusively at a single location, it was not possible to find authors, be it that data could not be systematically compiled because they are not available or be it that companies were unable to permit the publication of internal information. Some authors finished their manuscripts very fast, other chapters took much longer time. For this reason, the end of the literature evaluation varies from contribution to contribution. This leaves deficiencies that the editors are well aware of hoping that the users will forgive the lack of information in certain areas when considering what has been achieved in other areas. During the preparation of the manuscripts the collected data turned out to be so voluminous that it became necessary to divide the material in the two subvolumes VIII / 2 A 1 and VIII / 2 A 2. The present subvolume VIII / 2 A 1 contains information on powders and shaping technologies, semifinished products and structural parts as well as more functional materials for friction, electrical contact or magnetic applications or materials where the porosity is technically exploited. In agreement with the high value added in this industry branch, the materials for structural parts have more extensively been treated in the literature than many other PM products. In the light of the few futile efforts to set up a new standard in the field of PM literature the editors are the more obliged to those who volunteered as authors and achieved a density of hard core information that will long stay unsurpassed.
