Seminar to focus on compaction and tooling for powder metallurgy parts manufacture
September 21, 2011
Organised by the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) in association with its Powder Metallurgy Equipment Association and APMI International, this two day seminar will focus on the compacting process and tooling requirements for producing components via the powder metallurgy route.
The PM Compacting – Tooling Seminar will take place in Cleveland, OH, USA, from November 15-16, 2011 and is described as “a practical seminar designed to inform and educate PM parts and product fabricators.”
The course aims to:
- Teach the basics as well as new and advanced technology in PM compacting and tooling
- Provide an update of the latest developments in tool design, tool coating, and unique press applications
- Offer insights from the experts on the impact of tool design and press selection on product quality
