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…

GE engineers switched four existing parts from castings to metal 3D printing and see potential for hundreds more as AM competes with casting on cost alone.

Most manufacturers would never dream of switching an existing part from an investment casting to one made by metal AM.  But that is exactly what GE Aviation engineers are doing with four bleed air parts for a turbine engine. The decision was based on cost and time-to-market, even though the casting molds were already made.

This Self-Study Course provides a broad introduction to the fundamental principles of powder metallurgy. The user will gain an understanding of basic science and engineering as it relates to the technology. Practical applications of metal and alloy behavior, various manufacturing processes, and management objectives will be explored. This technically in-depth Course provides valuable knowledge for career development.

This Course contains 30 pre-recorded videos that average 60 minutes each. The Course will be open to the student for 6 months from the date of purchase.
