About Euro PM2012

Why you should attend

The annual Euro PM Congress is the foremost event for the international powder metallurgy community, and provides the focal point for industry personnel, researchers, and suppliers to meet, network and develop their business.

This year’s congress will provide customised programmes for the following PM sectors:• Hard Materials & Diamond Tooling• Powder Injection Moulding• Hot Isostatic Pressing• PM Applications and New Processes – a ‘first’ for a Euro PM event

The programme will include some 200 technical papers presented in oral and poster sessions, as well as four in-depth Special Interest Seminars. Details of the full programme can be found on the following pages.

The Euro PM2012 social programme will give delegates additional opportunities to network, and will include Welcome and Exhibition/Poster receptions, and a Gala Dinner.

Congress Organiser

Euro PM2012 is sponsored and organised by the European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA), in cooperation with key members of the PM fraternity in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The EPMA, founded in 1989, is the leading PM trade association representing the interests of the entire European PM community, and promoting PM technology throughout the world. EPMA members will qualify for special discounts on their registration fees, and further information on membership and EPMA’s services can be found on www.epma.com.

Special Interest Seminar on ‘New Opportunities for PM in the Emerging Markets for Renewable Energy’

Chairman: Dr Luc Federzoni (CEA Liten, France)

The emergence of new markets of renewable energy like photovoltaic’s batteries, gives new opportunity for the powder metallurgy community. Indeed, the advantage to provide net-shape, complex parts, new functional materials is a key point on applications where the cost is essential to give credibility/acceptance on products.

During this seminar, different examples of applications of powder metallurgy on different products in the field on the renewable energy industrial applications will be presented and the potential of applications of such technologies for the future will be discussed during a round-table.

Opportunity for new research topics from the development of new type/grade of powders, development of new forming processes will also be discussed.

Special Interest Seminar on ‘Metal Injection Moulding of Titanium Based Materials in 2012’

Chairmen: Dr Marco Actis Grande (Politecnico di Torino, Italy) Dr Frank Petzoldt (Fraunhofer IFAM, Germany) Dr Bruno Vicenzi (Mimitalia srl, Italy)

With a focus on MIM of Titanium and Ti-based materials, we take a close look at the current status of this technology. This seminar will give an outline on the technology development over the last few years, and try to determine what did change as expected and what did not, and also, what are the new expectations for the future.

Titanium is gaining ground in terms of knowledge, availability, reliability of MIM products, and eventually applications and market, and even though the market share is still no larger than 1%, the technology is of lively interest among academia.

The seminar will host selected speakers from industry and academia, dealing with different aspects of the process, of the materials and of the applications.

Special Interest Seminar on ‘Hard Materials – Atoms to Applications: Multi-Scale Modelling and Experiments’

Chairmen: Dr Steven Moseley (Hilti AG, Liechtenstein) Dr Bryan Roebuck (NPL Materials Centre, United Kingdom)

The manufacturing, performance and reliability of hardmetal components will benefit from combining modelling and experimental techniques through a wide length scale range. Hardmetals/cemented carbides are heterogeneous in nature, and modelling of their behaviour will require a multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approach, through meso to macroscale and from thermodynamics to mechanics.

This seminar will provide an insight into some of the methods, both computational and experimental, that are currently being applied to hardmetals and other materials, including:

• Overviews of modelling and experimental methods available• In-depth analyses of selected methods • Case studies of simulation used for actual components and production technologies
