Hagen Symposium 2024 technical programme published as event nears
October 22, 2024

The 42nd Hagen Symposium, will take place November 28-29, 2024, in Hagen, Germany. This year’s technical programme will cover a wide range of topics, including new industry developments and underlying economic trends.
The event will discuss the 100-year history of hard metals and address other issues, including energy transition, raw material shortages and Artificial Intelligence along the process chain from powder to component. New technologies and manufacturing options, such as electro-sintering forging (FAST-ESF) and new aspects of Additive Manufacturing, will also feature in this year’s programme.
The event will also showcase the diversity of Powder Metallurgy by featuring contributions on important, traditional and promising materials. These include magnetic materials and those used in the medical and mobility sectors, all produced using Powder Metallurgy techniques.
The Hagen Symposium will once again be complemented by an exhibition of companies and institutions active in PM. A new feature this year is the introduction of a poster session for young researchers. As well as displaying these as part of the exhibition, selected posters will also be presented during the event.
Winner of the Skaupy lecture
Prof Dr Martin Bram of Forschungszentrum Jülich will present this year’s Skaupy lecture. Focusing on material synthesis and manufacturing processes based on metal powders, he will discuss part of his energy research. This field of application is relevant to the future of Powder Metallurgy, providing approaches for new developments.
