Powder metallurgy, the preferred net shaping method for manufacturing complex parts in steel, refractory, metals, tungsten carbide and composites has been around for some time but is now getting a boost with increased energy and environment consciousness. The development of VVT, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, fuel cells, catalytic converters, composite electrical contacts, advanced sensors, light weight components and thermoelectric devices have been made possible by the science of Powder Metallurgy and Particulate Materials. The conference addresses these and related developments by way of plenary presentations made by experts in each field.

Experts from the industry, research institutions and academia will make oral and poster presentations of their original work and technology reviews.

Special sessions in previous conferences covered the subjects of Powder Injection Moulding (PIM) and Additive Manufacturing.

In this conference the special session will focus on PM in the DEVELOPMENT of FUNCTIONALLY GRADIENT components, parts that are made up of different materials, each performing a specific function.
