Powder Metallurgy’s challenge: How does automotive’s reliance on model-based decision making impact our industry?
With the automotive industry’s adoption of a model-based engineering approach dependent on access to reliable information, the limited data available for PM materials is putting the industry in a vulnerable position compared to wrought or cast materials.
As Ian Donaldson, Director Advanced Engineering Applications at GKN Sinter Metals, explains, in order to compete for its place in the rapidly changing automotive supply chain, it is imperative that the PM industry moves away from a primarily document-centric approach that relies on engineering specification sheets and limited material databases and toward developing more comprehensive databases.

How to make metal powders. Part 4: Centrifugal and other special atomisation methods
In the Winter 2021 issue of PM Review, we began our four-part series on metal powder atomisation. Over the course of this series, two atomisation experts, Joe Strauss and John Dunkley, have offered our readers a valuable overview of the principles of atomising technology, atomised powders and their applications.
In this final instalment in the series, Strauss and Dunkley present those special atomisation methods such as centrifugal, ultrasonic, pressure (single-fluid) atomisation, and two-fluid atomisation with unconventional media. While perhaps not as widely known as gas or water atomisation, each of these specialist methods of metal powder atomisation has its own unique applications – some industrially significant and some highly niche.

Precision and energy efficiency in PM press technology: Insights from Ceramitec 2022
After a four-year interruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ceramitec, the leading trade fair for the ceramics industry, reopened its doors at the Munich Exhibition Centre this June.
Although the focus of Ceramitec is on ceramic production technologies, many exhibitors also offer and showcase products for the Powder Metallurgy industry – in particular, powder compaction technology for press and sinter PM.
Dr Georg Schlieper visited the trade fair on behalf of PM Review, and spoke to a number of suppliers of powder compaction technology about the latest developments and trends in the industry.
