Collaboration drives success for PM: New Hyundai Motor applications developed with Korea Sintered Metal Co. and Höganäs AB

Despite the shift towards electrification, the further development and optimisation of internal combustion engines (ICEs) is still necessary in order to meet society’s diversified transportation needs. As it has done in the past, Powder Metallurgy is able to deliver the innovative solutions that are required for a new generation of engines.

In this article, Hak-Soo, Kim, Hyundai Motors, reports on a collaborative project between Hyundai Motor Company and Korea Sintered Metal Co. that resulted in the development of two innovative new PM automotive applications.

PowderMet2024 and AMPM2024 report: Cemented Carbides brought into focus in Pittsburgh

The fact that a high proportion of North America’s Powder Metallurgy structural parts and cemented carbide industries are located close to Pittsburgh, the host city for this year’s PowderMet2024 and AMPM2024 conferences, ensured a good turnout for the organiser, the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF).

In the following report, Bernard North shares his overall impressions of the event and reports in detail on a particularly well-attended Carbide Forum, in which developments in the $20 billion cemented carbide industry were presented by a very knowledgeable panel of presenters.

Powder Metallurgy shines in the MPIF’s 2024 Design Excellence Awards competition

The annual Powder Metallurgy Design Excellence Awards competition, organised by the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF), is an opportunity for PM part producers to showcase the capabilities of the full range of metal powder-based technologies to a global audience.

This year’s winners were announced at a special ceremony at the International Conference on Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials (PowderMet2024), held in Pittsburgh from June 16-19. This report reviews the winners in the conventional Press and Sinter PM category.

PowderMet2024: The state of the Powder Metallurgy industry in North America

A highlight of the Metal Powder Industries Federation’s annual International Conference on Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials (PowderMet) is the ‘State of the PM Industry’ presentation, in which key industry data are presented alongside analysis of the performance of PM in major markets.

This year’s presentation was delivered by Michael Stucky, president of the MPIF and Business Unit Director at Norwood Medical. Stucky’s presentation, published here in full, brings the current challenges facing PM into focus, as well as highlighting opportunities for growth.

The wire that makes the powder: TGTi’s development of titanium wire feedstock for plasma atomisation

When it comes to titanium powder production for Additive Manufacturing, Metal Injection Moulding and other advanced production processes, plasma gas atomisation is regarded as a gold standard – particularly for demanding applications in the aerospace and medical sectors. The quality of the wire feedstock that is used in the process, of course, directly impacts the quality of the powder that comes out.

In this article, Jiangsu Tiangong Technology (TGTi) shares insights into its production processes, its rise to becoming a market leader, and its goal of meeting the needs of the international community.
