Record attendance at Euro PM2011 in Barcelona

Abstract

With a sold-out trade exhibition and a record breaking attendance, the EPMA's annual conference, held on 9-12 October in Barcelona, Spain, drew almost 900 delegates from nearly 50 countries.

Carbon control in PM sintering: industrial applications and experience

“…The microstructure of the parts under the baseline atmosphere 8,9 indicated considerable decarburisation on the surface and in the core. Thus tests were then run with the furnace atmosphere control and modification.…”

“…Sinterflex is one such carbon potential control technology designed to achieve robust sinter processing. 7,8…”

“…The microstructures of products sintered with the carbon control system indicated that decarburisation has been significantly reduced at the surface and almost eliminated in the core of the part. 8,9…”
