GKN Powder Metallurgy targets sustainable and resilient regional NdFeB magnet production

As the shift to vehicles with electrified powertrains gathers pace, the need for sustainable, locally produced high-performance magnets has become critical. GKN Powder Metallurgy is rising to this challenge by establishing NdFeB magnet production in Europe and North America, with a focus on reducing or eliminating the use of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) such as terbium and dysprosium.

In this article, Gordon Hutchinson, Vice President Magnets, outlines the company’s progress, technology strategy, and vision for a resilient magnet supply chain.

The chemistry of LiFe: The rise of LFP batteries and what it means for the iron powder industry

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are rapidly becoming the dominant chemistry for electric vehicles, driven by their safety, cost-effectiveness, and long cycle life. This shift presents a significant opportunity for iron powder producers, as iron is a key component in LFP cathodes.

For those less familiar with the chemistry, Robert Mitchell, Principal Scientist in Energy Materials at CPI, offers a comprehensive overview of LFP’s structure, performance, and evolving production methods, and explores why LFP batteries are poised to become a major consumer of iron powders.

Driving sustainable innovation: HIP 2025 explores the strategic potential of Hot Isostatic Pressing

The 14th International Conference on Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP 2025), held in Aachen, Germany, brought together over 250 global experts to examine the expanding role of HIP in critical industries. With a strong focus on nuclear power, large-scale component production, and process innovation, the event highlighted HIP’s potential to deliver defect-free, high-integrity parts.

As RWTH Aachen’s Yuanbin Deng, Felix Radtke, Ziping Sang, Jonas Koob, Frederik Tegeder, and Anke Kaletsch report, HIP 2025 highlighted the technology’s strategic value in enabling safe, reliable, and sustainable manufacturing for demanding applications.
