Soft Magnetic Composites (SMCs) for electric motors: A new era driven by automotive and aviation electrification
The rapid global adoption of Electric Vehicles is taking Powder Metallurgy towards a promising new era in electric motor manufacturing. Soft Magnetic Composites (SMCs) offer an enhanced approach to motor design, reducing energy losses while enabling compact, innovative motor architectures.
Beyond Electric Vehicles, the aerospace sector is seeking to leverage these lightweight and efficient PM electric motor technologies for aircraft propulsion systems. In this article, John Morehead presents the various electric motor types used for vehicles and highlights applications and innovations around SMCs. > download this issue
Keep your powder dry: The overlooked impact of moisture in metal powders
Metal powders underpin many advanced manufacturing processes, yet one often-overlooked factor can significantly affect their performance: moisture. Excess moisture reduces flowability, accelerates oxidation, and increases the risk of porosity in finished parts. While standards do exist, traditional testing methods rarely offer real-time insight.
In this article, Dr Peter Moir and Dr Martin McMahon examine how moisture interacts with metal powders, the impact on processing, and how emerging measurement techniques can help safeguard powder quality and consistency. > download this issue
PM-HIP The alternative to casting and forging that improves supply chain flexibility and sustainability
Powder Metallurgy Hot Isostatic Pressing (PM-HIP) is an advanced manufacturing process that enables the production of large, high-integrity components with consistent, forged-like properties. As traditional casting and forging supply chains face growing challenges, PM-HIP offers a reliable alternative with shorter lead times and increased design flexibility.
Here, Amaero’s Eric Bono explains how the process supports resilient, domestic production of critical parts across sectors such as defence, energy, and aerospace, helping manufacturers reduce dependency on constrained supply chains while achieving demanding performance requirements. > download this issue
