Euro PM2012 Congress and Exhibition

About Euro PM2012
Why you should attend
The annual Euro PM Congress is the foremost event for the international powder metallurgy community, and provides the focal
point for industry personnel, researchers, and suppliers to meet, network and develop their business.
This years congress will provide customised programmes for the following PM sectors:
Hard Materials & Diamond Tooling
Powder Injection Moulding
Hot Isostatic Pressing
PM Applications and New Processes a first for a Euro PM event
The programme will include some 200 technical papers presented in oral and poster sessions, as well as four in-depth Special
Interest Seminars. Details of the full programme can be found on the following pages.
The Euro PM2012 social programme will give delegates additional opportunities to network, and will include Welcome and
Exhibition/Poster receptions, and a Gala Dinner.

Special Interest Seminar on New Opportunities for PM in
the Emerging Markets for Renewable Energy
Chairman: Dr Luc Federzoni (CEA Liten, France)
The emergence of new markets of renewable energy like photovoltaics batteries, gives new opportunity for the
powder metallurgy community. Indeed, the advantage to provide net-shape, complex parts, new functional materials is
a key point on applications where the cost is essential to give credibility/acceptance on products.
During this seminar, different examples of applications of powder metallurgy on different products in the field on the
renewable energy industrial applications will be presented and the potential of applications of such technologies for
the future will be discussed during a round-table.
Technical Programme
Opportunity for new research topics from the development of new type/grade of powders, development of new
forming processes will also be discussed.

Dr Bruno Vicenzi (Mimitalia srl, Italy)
With a focus on MIM of Titanium and Ti-based materials, we take a close look at the current status of this technology.
This seminar will give an outline on the technology development over the last few years, and try to determine what
did change as expected and what did not, and also, what are the new expectations for the future.
Titanium is gaining ground in terms of knowledge, availability, reliability of MIM products, and eventually applications
and market, and even though the market share is still no larger than 1%, the technology is of lively interest among
academia.
Technical Programme
The seminar will host selected speakers from industry and academia, dealing with different aspects of the process, of
the materials and of the applications.

Special Interest Seminar on Hard Materials Atoms to
Applications: Multi-Scale Modelling and Experiments
Chairmen: Dr Steven Moseley (Hilti AG, Liechtenstein)
Dr Bryan Roebuck (NPL Materials Centre, United Kingdom)
The manufacturing, performance and reliability of hardmetal components will benefit from combining modelling and
experimental techniques through a wide length scale range. Hardmetals/cemented carbides are heterogeneous in
nature, and modelling of their behaviour will require a multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approach, through meso to
macroscale and from thermodynamics to mechanics.
This seminar will provide an insight into some of the methods, both computational and experimental, that are
currently being applied to hardmetals and other materials, including:

HIP has developed over the years to become a high-performance, high-quality and cost-effective process for a wide
range of components such as large and massive near net shape stainless parts for the oil and gas industry to high
performance PM HSS cutting tools. The versatility and flexibility of the HIP process, combined with superior material
properties, make it an ideal choice for new applications, among other powder metallurgy technologies.
The seminar shows an overview of some original applications of Hot Isostatic Pressing technology including:
Aerospace
