From powder modification to rejuvenation: Fluidised Bed Reactors in metal powder production and Additive Manufacturing
Fluidised Bed Reactors (FDRs) will be new to many in the Powder Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing industries. The technology offers a host of operational features that are useful in both metal powder production and in instances where batches of powder may need to be ‘rejuvenated’, or brought back into specification.
In this article, Bill Hopkins, Managing Director, Phoenix Scientific Industries (PSI) Limited, introduces the concept of FBRs and considers current and future applications for metal powder producers and users.

Retech: Enabling the atomisation of reactive and refractory alloys at substantially higher levels of productivity and lower cost
Retech, a division of SECO/WARWICK Group, has developed a method for the gas atomisation of a wide variety of reactive and refractory alloys, amorphous metals, and superalloys. Called Plasma Gas Atomising (PGA), this technology, states the company, promises a significant increase in production rates.
In this article, Retech’s Dr Aamir Abid explores the technology and its advantages for metal powder producers and considers its potential to substantially reduce the cost of metal powders for Powder Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing applications.

Sustainability in Powder Metallurgy: Highlights from the 41st Hagen Symposium
The 41st Hagen Symposium on Powder Metallurgy, organised by Germany’s Fachverband Pulvermetallurgie (FPM), took place in Hagen from November 30 to December 1, 2023. The event had a focus on sustainability and the changes needed for the PM industry to become greener through improved efficiency, reduced energy consumption and optimised raw materials usage.
Dr Georg Schlieper reports on selected presentations that highlight some of the sustainability challenges being met by the industry. He also reports on the 2023 Skaupy Prize Lecture, given by Ruhr University Bochum’s Prof Werner Theisen.

Innovations from Japan’s Powder Metallurgy industry: award winners highlight novel automotive and healthcare applications
In 2023, the Japan Powder Metallurgy Association (JPMA) celebrated forty-five years of its PM component awards competition. This year’s competition recognises achievements within the Powder Metallurgy industry across three categories: New Products (New Design/Materials/Process Development), New Powders and Equipment Development. The organisers also recognised products not covered by the categories with the awarding of the Effort Prize. This year’s innovations ranged from reactor cores for electric vehicles to aluminium bronze powder.
