As the demand for high-performance powder metallurgy (PM) applications grow, advancements in high-density component manufacturing is key for continued growth of the PM industry. Progression towards higher densities to enhance mechanical performance plays a vital role in the ability for PM manufacturing to compete against wrought and cast iron components. The recent developments in compaction and sintering technologies have opened up new possibilities to achieve higher densities. This program will focus on the advancement towards high-density component manufacturing using developments made in press-and-die set design, die wall lubrication systems, and sintering technologies.
Individual presentation times will run 25 minutes, including questions. Manuscripts that are submitted will be published in the conference proceedings.

In the past decade, energy generation and storage have significantly advanced and developed. For example, wind and solar energy generation has gone through major transformation both on technology levels and cost of manufacturing and installations. But the great stumbling block for solar energy, as well as wind power and electric vehicles, has always been storage. Battery technology has gained traction in the last few years for providing more efficient energy storage solutions for renewable energy, portable electronics, electric vehicles, and healthcare. These developments present opportunities and threats to the powder metallurgy industry. The intent of this special interest program is to review new PM solutions for power generation and storage as well as the current state of the art in battery technology. The impact of new battery technology on the growth of electric vehicles and the consequences on PM powertrain components will be explored.
Individual presentation times will run 25 minutes, including questions. Manuscripts that are submitted will be published in the conference proceedings.

This program will examine topics of current interest to the refractory metals and manufacturing community and others with interest in these processes and related materials. In these sessions we will present the latest information on the health, safety, and regulatory environment surrounding the use of tungsten carbides and, in particular, cobalt. Presentations will be provided that examine the replacement of cobalt in the WC cermet system and provide cobalt-free options for this material. Further we will examine the emerging technology of additive manufacturing with particular emphasis on refractory metals in this manufacturing environment.
Individual presentation times will run 25 minutes, including questions. Manuscripts that are submitted will be published in the conference proceedings.

Machining of powder metallurgy materials is a critical practice for most PM applications, often defining fit, form, function, and financial success. The process of machining PM materials is arguably more complex than cast and wrought materials, and tools and techniques used for the latter are not optimized for the former. This Special Interest Program will offer perspective toward typical PM machining challenges and methods to measure, analyze, and improve the machining process. Within the program, focused presentations include PM material advances, tool technology, machining process characterization and case studies, providing a wide scope of ideas and concepts useful to anyone involved in PM machining.
Individual presentation times will run 25 minutes, including questions. Manuscripts that are submitted will be published in the conference proceedings.
