Registration for the European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA)’s seminar on ‘Functional PM Components in Next Generation Electric Cars’ closes on March 14, 2018. The seminar will look at the range of functional materials that can be produced by Powder Metallurgy such as SMC, thermo-electric materials, porous heat pipes, permanent magnets, hydrogen carriers and fuel cell plates, among many others.

During the seminar, which will run from April 16-17, 2018,  a number of industry experts will present the potential uses of functional PM materials in cars, followed up by a workshop preparing a consortium for a Horizon2020 application under the umbrella of the EPMA.
