Howard I. Sanderow Outstanding Technical Paper Award

The Outstanding Technical Paper Award, renamed in honor of Howard I. Sanderow in 2009, was established in 1993 to recognize

• authors of manuscripts for excellence in scientific and technical written communications from those papers presented and submitted for publication from MPIF's annual POWDERMET conference 
• to enhance the quality of technology transfer in the PM literature by increasing the professional level of papers submitted for the annual technical conference 
• to enhance and promote the science and technology which is fundamental to powder metallurgy products, processes and materials.
