The annual grand event for the powder metallurgy industry—the 2020 Powder Metallurgy Technology & Business Forum—is scheduled to be held from November 19 to 21 (with full-day registration on the 19th) in Hefei, Anhui Province. This time, we will participate in this major industry event co-organized by the China Machinery Industry Federation’s Powder Metallurgy Professional Association. The 2020 Annual Meeting of the Powder Metallurgy Branch of the China General Machinery Parts Industry Association and the 2020 Powder Metallurgy Technology & Business Forum will be held jointly.

Currently, preparations for the conference are steadily gaining momentum, and all aspects of the preparations are proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner.

The 2020 Powder Metallurgy Technology Business Forum will offer our industry friends a splendid feast of valuable information. Some highlights are as follows:

● Recent Developments and Future Prospects of China’s Powder Metallurgy Industry: This report provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of the pandemic and the new international landscape on China’s powder metallurgy parts industry, helping powder metallurgy component enterprises clarify their development strategies in the current context.

● Analyze the current status and future development trends of the automotive industry—the primary end-market for powder metallurgy parts—and help powder metallurgy component manufacturers explore new opportunities in the automotive sector.

● A Cutting-Edge Technical Report on Powder Metallurgy Injection Molding: We invite leading academics from the powder metallurgy industry to provide a comprehensive overview of pioneering new injection-molding technologies and market development trends, helping companies broaden their strategic thinking and drive growth.

● Precise Dimension Control of Powder Metallurgy Parts: This article analyzes the root causes of the widely concerned issue of dimension control in powder metallurgy parts and explores preventive measures. We believe that the practical solutions to specific problems encountered in production will resonate with and inspire you, providing valuable reference for your company’s future manufacturing processes.

● Preparation Technologies and Applications of Copper-Based Metal Powders: We invite industry experts to highlight the latest developments in China’s copper-based metal powder industry and provide an analysis of its future development trends.

● Development of Green Powder Metallurgy Processing Technology: Currently, green powder metallurgy processing technology has gradually begun to be adopted by many large enterprises and is attracting increasing attention from an ever-growing number of powder metallurgy companies. This forum will invite renowned industry technical experts to provide a detailed analysis of the past, present, and future of green powder metallurgy processing technology.

● Current Status and Applications of Aluminum-Based Powder Metallurgy: Compared to iron-based alloys, aluminum and its alloys have a density that is only about one-third of the latter, giving them significantly higher specific strength. Moreover, aluminum-based powder metallurgy parts offer advantages in post-processing, such as improved rust resistance and demagnetization properties. Currently, the use of aluminum alloy powders in powder metallurgy is steadily increasing, promising broad application prospects.

● Key Considerations for Powder Metallurgy (PM) Companies Entering the Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Industry: In recent years, metal powder injection molding (MIM) has attracted increasing attention from traditional powder metallurgy (PM) companies. The forum has specially invited seasoned technical experts—each with decades of experience in both the PM and MIM industries—to share crucial considerations for PM companies looking to enter the MIM sector.

● Analysis of Design Concepts Behind Award-Winning Powder Metallurgy Parts: This section focuses on analyzing the design concepts behind award-winning powder metallurgy parts and the techniques used to manufacture these products via powder metallurgy methods, providing valuable insights and inspiration for small and medium-sized powder metallurgy enterprises seeking to develop new products.

● Powder Metallurgy Technology Salon (Extended Version): We have invited several industry experts—widely recognized for their extensive practical experience—to serve as technical guests. They will engage in face-to-face, interactive Q&A sessions with the attendees, addressing challenging issues in production technology. We believe that many of the discussions held during this event will be highly beneficial for technical personnel at powder metallurgy enterprises, helping them enhance their theoretical knowledge and effectively resolve specific problems encountered in production practice.

● A comprehensive showcase and promotion of new equipment, new technologies, and new products in powder metallurgy.

● On-site visit to the brand-new, state-of-the-art copper-based powder production line of Youyan Powder New Materials (Hefei) Co., Ltd.
