CONFERENCE LANGUAGE: English
WHY ATTEND APMA 2019?
Powder Metallurgy includes the techniques of Pressing & Sintering, Powder Injection Moulding,Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) & Isostatic Pressing. These techniques are used to manufacture components
from steel, stainless steel, copper alloys, refractory metals, ceramic & composites. PM has been practiced forseveral years but is now getting a boost with increased energy and environment consciousness. The developmentof lifestyle & health devices, VVT, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, fuel cells, catalytic converters, composite
electrical contacts, advanced sensors, light weight components and thermoelectric devices have been madepossible by the use of several technologies that comprise the science & practice of Powder Metallurgy andParticulate Materials. The conference addresses these and related developments by way of presentations madeby experts in each field. The concurrent 45th Annual Technical Meet of PMAI provides a platform for students& researchers from scientific establishments & academia to present their work.
