The technical sessions are forums to review original and unpublished work addressing recent advances in the full spectrum of powder metallurgy & particulate materials technologies and publicize recent work contributing to the state of the art and/or discussing emerging areas of interest. All submissions should clearly outline the results of the latest research, innovations, or improvements in PM processing or products.

All accepted abstracts will require a manuscript submitted to MPIF prior to presentation at the conference. See the Speaker Guide for more information on the manuscript requirements. 

Contact Deb Stab with questions. 

• Design & Modeling of PM Materials, Components & Processes
• Particulate Production
• Particulate Materials & Processes
• General Compaction & Forming Processes
• Powder Injection Molding (Metals & Ceramics)
• Pre-Sintering & Sintering
• Secondary Operations
• Refractory Metals, Carbides & Ceramics
• Material Properties
• Test & Evaluation
• Applications
• Management Issues

The poster format is suitable for authors who wish to report important work in-progress—research that catches the cutting edge of powder metallurgy or particulate technology.  This format lends itself to reporting preliminary research results which may have large potential for industrial development, or simply where this alternate form of presentation is deemed more attractive. Abstracts submitted for the poster program will not be considered for presentation in the general technical sessions.

All poster program participants will be eligible for Poster Awards.
