粉末冶金零件的成功烧结后热处理需要正确选择材料、热处理参数和热处理设备。此外，还必须考虑P/M系数。变量包括:零件密度、材料成分、淬火或冷却方法、工艺因素和设备相关变量。本文讨论了所有这些因素。

Successful post-sintering heat treatment of P/M parts requires proper selection of material, heat treating parameters, and heat processing equipment. In addition, the P/M factor must be considered. The variables of which include: part density, material composition, quenching or cooling method, process factors, and equipment related variables. This paper discusses all of these factors.
