APMA is one of six trade associations of the Metal Powder Industries Federation. Member companies use the PM process to make tool steels, metallic filters, roll compacted strip, permanent magnets, superalloy and titanium PM parts, high-performance PM materials, biomedical parts, and beryllium parts. APMA also represents PM companies with in-plant PM parts manufacturing facilities.

APMA companies are involved with materials such as cermets, coated binder powders, fully dense materials, high-speed steels, intermetallics, light metal composites, metal fibers, metal matrix composites, nanostructured materials, and superconductors, and embrace the following processes: atomization, conventional PM, HIP/CIP, hot consolidation, mechanical alloying, plasma spray, rapid solidification, roll compaction, and spray forming.

The major objective of the association is to improve and promote the technologies involved in the production and application of products utilizing metal powders and advanced particulate materials in their manufacture. This is accomplished by the collection and dissemination of statistical information, development of standards, and technology transfer.
