Innovation is responsible for the rapid growth of the powder injection molding industry (metal injection molding, ceramic injection molding, and cemented carbide injection molding), a nearly $2 billion advanced manufacturing industry. This conference will provide a venue for the latest technology transfer.

 

The 9th International Conference on Tungsten, Refractory & Hardmaterials was held in 2014 and numerous developments have taken place in the intervening years. Remarkable among these has been the explosive development of additive manufacturing (3D printing) using refractory metals and alloys, and their carbides. There has also been a notable initiative, driven by concerns for environment, safety, and health (ESH), toward the development of cobalt-free carbide and alloy compositions. The time period has also seen growth in the interest of field-assisted sintering technology (also called spark plasma sintering) of refractory metals and carbides. Further, there has been advancement in the particle deposition method called cold spray for refractory materials. Interest in nanocrystalline materials remains high and there have been several interesting developments in the area of nano-phase refractory metals and alloys.

Focusing on metal additive manufacturing, AMPM2020, the Additive Manufacturing with Powder Metallurgy Conference, will feature worldwide industry experts presenting the latest technology developments in this fast-growing field. Join the metal AM industry June 27–July 1, 2020, in Montréal!

This conference is co-located at a global powder metallurgy industry event, the biennial World Congress on Powder Metallurgy and Particulate Materials (WorldPM2020). Additionally, Tungsten2020, the International Conference on Tungsten, Refractory, and Hardmaterials will also be held for the first time in six years.

WorldPM2020 presents the largest global powder metallurgy (PM) and particulate materials event of the year, and it only happens once every six years in North America. From June 27 through July 1, 2020, join the PM industry in Montreal, Canada.

Location: Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel • State College, PA

The Basic Powder Metallurgy (PM) Short Course is the powder metallurgy industry's longest running course—celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2014. If you or your company's employees are new to the PM industry, this is the course for you.
