Caroline Means, an undergraduate in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University, has been working on a metal AM project that could make it easier to experiment with golf putters. The project’s goal is to allow golfers to adjust parts of their club to find a better stroke, rather than having to buy a new club. It also could help equipment manufacturers reimagine their prototyping and design process.

Denso Corp., Southfield, Michigan, has invested in Seurat Technologies, Wilmington, Massachusetts, to speed up its manufacturing production rates. Seurat’s area printing technology focuses 2 million points of laser light on a bed on metal powder, each point individually adjustable for power and duration, to create net-shape metal components.

PowderMet2021, AMPM2021, and Tungsten2021 provided a much needed gathering place for professionals and students from every sector of the powder metallurgy community. The excitement of finally getting together again showed on all the smiling faces. Nearly 400 “in-person” delegates and over 100 “virtual” delegates took part in the hybrid event, held June 20-23 in Orlando. Delegates filtered into the ballroom to John Sebastian’s “Welcome Back” as they prepared for the Opening General Session’s jam-packed agenda. Executive Director/CEO James Adams welcomed the industry back together again in his opening remarks.

The PM industry’s most successful educational program for those new to the industry or seeking to bush up on the latest developments is right around the corner – and in-person!

Over 3 full days, participants will learn:

• PM’s history, current practice, and the future
• Why PM is a preferred method for producing metal parts
• The many applications that use PM parts
• The fine points in designing for PM
• How metal powders are produced
• About MPIF standards and tests
• Designs for compacting tools
• About various secondary operations
• How sintering develops functional properties
• About metal injection molding

MPIF has released new material property data for MIM Stainless Steel (MIM-420 HIP’d & HT) as an Addendum to the 2018 edition of MPIF Standard 35-MIM, “Materials Standards for Metal Injection Molded Parts”.  The new data provides minimum and typical mechanical property data tables in both inch-pound and SI units.

Tungsten Heavy Alloy Handbook— Applications, Compositions, Fabrication, Properties, Microstructures, and Modeling of Sintered Tungsten Heavy Alloys, by Dr. Randall M. German, FAPMI, is now available for purchase through the MPIF website.

This handbook contains 27 sections, each composed of small segments that can be consulted without reading the entire book. The handbook organizes the facts on the process options, applications, compositions, shaping, measurement tools, sintering, heat treatment, embrittlement, microstructures, etc.

This handbook is designed to provide solutions to typical challenges. Both the table of contents and index help find specific data, relations, models, and correlations.

The early registration list for the PowderMet2021/AMPM2021/Tungsten2021 conferences is now available.  The conferences will be held one month from today, on June 20-23 at the WDW Swan and Dolphin Resort, in Orlando.  One registration fee gains access to the 3 big conferences, attracting the world’s leading industry-technical minds, promoting PM technology advancements from nearly 30 countries.

Delegates will transfer knowledge as they attend technical sessions, Special Interest Programs, and view the international poster display, in-person or online. All full conference registrants will have access to the on-demand videos for 2 weeks following the conferences.

We haven’t been able to get together in 2 years – don’t make it even longer…
