Abstract
The history of the powder metallurgy of platinum may well be claimed to be the history of powder metallurgy itself. For very many years all the malleable platinum used in industry was made by this process, developed independently in Spain, in England and in Russia. The author outlines the struggles of the early workers in this field and discusses the cause of the cracking which they occasionally reported.
