Powder Metallurgy Machining

Powder Metallurgy Machinability Seminar

April 20-21, 2021
Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel • State College, PA


Machining is a value-added process that continues to evolve with new machinability additives for powders, cutting tools and techniques. The PM Machinability Seminar returns for the first time since 2017 to address these exciting advancements.

 

Learn from industry experts about:

  • Fundamental knowledge of machining and tooling
  • An end-user’s view of suppliers’ machining capabilities
  • About additives and machinability
  • How to improve machinability
  • How to select the right cutting fluid & economics of tool choice
  • How coatings can reduce tool wear
  • The impact PM material morphology has on machining
  • Numerous case studies
