MPIF’s 2021 Machinability Virtual Seminar available again in September
August 23, 2022
The Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF)’s virtual Powder Metallurgy Machinability Seminar – which originally took place in 2021 – is set for a repeat showing from September 26-29, 2022. The seminar is designed to offer in-depth knowledge and understanding of both the fundamental and practical aspects of machining PM parts.
The course, with nearly fourteen hours of technical content, includes the following presentations:

- ‘An Overview of Machining PM Materials— “Read the Process”’ by Thorsten Upmeier, Federal-Mogul Burscheid GmbH
- ‘PM Material Systems and Machinability’ by Roland Warzel III, North American Höganäs
- ‘Machinability of PM Steels: Machining Aids and Microstructures’ by Neal Kraus, Hoeganaes Corporation
- ‘Modern Tools and Techniques for Machining PM Materials’ by Don Graham, Seco Tools, LLC
- ‘Methods for Evaluating Machinability on PM parts’ by John Engquist, FAPMI, JENS Solutions LLC
- ‘Machining Metal AM Parts: What’s Old, What’s New?’ by Prof Edward De Meter, The Pennsylvania State University, Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering
- ‘Machinability of Ferrous PM Materials: Microstructure Effect on Machinability’ by W Brian James, FAPMI, PMtech
- ‘An Edgy, Cutting Edge View of the Cutting Edge Design of PcBN and PCD Tools’ by Bill Shaffer, Conicity Technologies
- ‘Innovative Use of Statistics and Design of Experiments for PM Machining Optimization’ by Thorsten Upmeier, Federal-Mogul Burscheid GmbH
