Latest Powder Metallurgy Trends at PowderMet2012
PowderMet2012, an annual conference sponsored by the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) and APMI International, will highlight the latest developments and trends in metal powders, as well as powder metallurgy (PM) processes, products, and applications. This International Conference on Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials will be held June 10-13 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, Nashville, Tennessee.
The conference technical program will feature over 150 technical presentations by authors from over 30 countries, and a trade exhibition will showcase leading suppliers of metal powders and particulate materials, processing equipment, and PM products.
The conference opening general session will include a keynote presentation, "America's New Auto Industry," by Drew Winter, Editor-in-Chief, WardsAuto World Magazine. It will also include an overview of the annual MPIF State-of-the-Industry Report. Additional conference events include the Industry Recognition Luncheon and the PM Design Excellence Awards Luncheon. The social highlight of the conference will be an All-American Evening at the Grand Ole Opry.
In addition to the comprehensive technical program, the conference will include management-focused programs open to MPIF-member companies: "Powder-Handling Concerns"; "Outside Perspectives on PM's Value"; "PM Activities at North American Universities"; and "PM Technology Scans" focusing on lightweight PM materials and alternative energy.
Technical sessions, poster presentations, and a slate of four special interest programs will cover a range of subjects such as metal injection molding, powder production, machinability, high-density materials, PM titanium, wear and surface properties, non-destructive testing, process modeling, atomization, dynamic properties, lubrication, PM stainless steel, hot isostatic pressing, refractory metals, carbides, magnetic materials, and PM aluminum alloys. Other in-depth programming will cover topics on delubrication science & developments, magnesium powders and composites, spark-plasma sintering, and dual-phase materials.
