PM Sintering Short Course a Runaway Success
After a hiatus of nearly 13 years, the European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA) reintroduced the Short Course, which took place 18th - 20th March 2012. The Elite Hotel Marina Plaza in Helsingborg, Sweden provided the venue for a highly successful two-day course on "Sintering - Fundamentals and Mass Production". Sixty-five engineers and scientists from throughout Europe joined with twelve speakers drawn from both industry and academia to examine the practical capabilities and applications of sintering technology as applied to the powder metallurgy process. Lectures included: Fundamentals of Sintering - Theory and Practice; Sintering Atmospheres - Thermodynamics, Selection and Production; Analysis of a Typical Sintering Belt Furnace; Debinding/Delubing/Cooling and Sinterhardening amongst others. Participants had the opportunity to discuss and explore problems and case studies with the finest experts in their field.
"We are delighted with the success of this course" said Jonathan Wroe, EPMA Executive Director, "and we are planning to run another one next year".
Further information on the 2013 Short Course and its content will be available on the EPMA website ( EPMA Website ) in the autumn.
