Disclosed is a cartridge case for various caliber ammunition that can consist essentially of a powdered metal and/or powdered metal alloy(s) that is formed into the cartridge case through an injection mold processing. Also disclosed is a method for forming a cartridge case, which may include use of Metal Injection Molding (“MIM”) processes to produce the cartridge case which retains a primer, propellant, and/or a bullet. Also disclosed are embodiments related to a case telescoped cartridge that may include a cap and a body. The body can consist essentially of or consists entirely of a powdered metal and/or powdered metal alloy(s) that has been formed through MIM. The cap can comprise plastic that has been formed through plastic molding or comprise powdered metal and/or powdered metal alloy(s) that has been formed through MIM.

A line-cutter apparatus capable of being mounted on a tow cable is provided. A body is formed from two releasably coupled housings having a central bore when combined. A plurality of longitudinal grooves are formed in the body that divide the body into a respective plurality of longitudinal segments. Guard portions on the body correspond to the longitudinal segments. The body has fin portions that correspond to the longitudinal segments. Blades corresponding to the segments are received within the body and have a cutting edge that protrudes into one respective passageway of a longitudinal segment.

A method for fabricating a vane for a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) includes the steps of providing or obtaining a substrate metal in powdered form, mixing a binder with the powdered substrate metal to form a mixture, performing an injection molding process using the mixture to form a green substrate in the shape of the vane, debinding the green substrate to form a brown substrate in the shape of the vane having a porous structure, applying a surface treatment slurry to at least a portion of the brown substrate, and sintering the surface treated brown substrate to form the vane.
