The next course will be taking place Virtually, on 9 October 2025
We are delighted to be working with Dr Cem Selcuk to host this half-day virtual course on Powder Metallurgy.
Powder metallurgy is a dynamic and versatile manufacturing technique that enables the creation of complex and high-performance components with minimal material waste. With applications across aerospace, defence, energy, construction, and mining sectors, this process plays a vital role in modern engineering and design.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to powder metallurgy, offering insights into its fundamental principles, processing techniques, and the relationships between powder characteristics, microstructure, and component properties. You’ll gain an understanding of how powders are produced, handled, and consolidated into engineering components, and how innovations in powder metallurgy are driving performance improvements across industries.
No prior knowledge of powder metallurgy is required. The course is designed to support both newcomers and those looking to deepen their understanding of the field. It also explores the latest industrial developments, emerging technologies, and how powder metallurgy is being applied to solve real-world challenges.
Who should attend?
This course is relevant to anyone with an interest in Powder Metallurgy, though it is aimed at those that may be starting out on their journey in this area, or those interested in the fields of aerospace, defence, energy, construction, or mining. It will also be of interest to anyone considering how this technology can be used in their business, such as design engineers, materials scientists, technical managers, innovation leads, product development teams, researchers, and academics. Whether you’re developing new products, improving manufacturing processes, or exploring novel materials solutions, this course provides the foundational knowledge needed to make informed decisions and spark innovation.
How is the course structured?
By the end of the session, participants will:
-
Understand the core principles and terminology of powder metallurgy
