The 2018 edition of Metal Powder Industries Federation’s (MPIF) Standard 35-MIM – Materials Standards for Metal Injection Molded Parts has been released. This standard is a must-have document and provides the design and materials engineer with the latest engineering property data and information available in order to specify materials for components made by the metal injection molding (MIM) process.

Sandia Laboratories' materials science team has engineered a platinum-gold alloy which it says could be the most wear-resistant metal in the world. The alloy is reportedly 100 times more durable than high-strength steel, making it the first alloy in the same class as diamond and sapphire.

After four successful conferences held in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and China, the conference PMTi2019: Powder Metallurgy (PM) and Additive Manufacturing (AM) of Titanium is coming to the United States for the first time. Join global experts on PM and AM processing of titanium and alloys at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, September 24–27, 2019 for academic exchange and technology transfer. Abstract submissions for presentations are now open.
