Powder Metallurgy or Particulate Materials Technology (PM) is the preferred net shape method of producing medium to high lot production of complex parts with the least raw material, energy and environmental impact. This course provides an excellent platform to introduce the participants to the vast portfolio of PM technologies that can be profitably bound by the industry with special focus on niche products and application areas. Participants who are involved in PM will benefit from a deeper understanding of their activities and get an insight to recent advancements in the science and engineering of PM. Participants will be tested for the knowledge acquired and will be issued with a certificate from NIDA.
