The powder metallurgy (PM) industry was the brightest light on the famous Las Vegas Strip during PowderMet2023 and AMPM2023 at Caesars Palace. During the Opening General Session APMI International and the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) honored several distinguished members of the PM community.

Researchers at the University of Wolverhampton have been announced as the winners of the Emerald Literati Award 2022, recognized for their contribution to ‘outstanding scholarly research’ after their successful collaboration project found that an additively manufactured antiviral copper-tungsten-silver (Cu-W-Ag) material kills 100% of the Covid-19 virus.

The powder metallurgy (PM) industry was the brightest light on the famous Las Vegas Strip during PowderMet2023 and AMPM2023 at Caesars Palace. Seven hundred delegates from 25 countries took part in technical presentations, special interest programs, and the largest PM exhibit in the Americas. The sold-out trade exhibition featured companies showcasing top products, goods, and services. The annual poster display was robust thanks to 61 students that received conference grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Center for Powder Metallurgy Technology (CPMT) and MPIF.

The winners in the 2023 Powder Metallurgy (PM) Design Excellence Awards competition, sponsored by the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF), demonstrate outstanding examples of PM’s diversity and ability to meet critical requirements. From electric vehicles to medical implants, once again, parts fabricators have demonstrated PM’s versatility and unique ability to challenge competing technologies. These award-winning components use PM’s flexibility to push forward new concepts and process controls to demonstrate the inexhaustible range of PM’s capabilities.
