Sintered isotropic Sm-Fe-N to replace Nd-Fe-B magnets?
AIST in Japan has developed a technology to produce sintered isotropic samarium-iron-nitrogen (Sm-Fe-N) based magnets with properties similar to neodynium-iron-boron (Nd-Fe-B) based permanent magnets.
GPI Prototype adds direct metal laser sintering machine
GPI Prototype has installed an upgraded EOSINT M 280 direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) machine from EOS to build metal parts additively.
DMLS assessed for sustainability
Laser-sintering specialist EOS and aerospace manufacturer EADS Innovation Works (IW) have started work on a study to understand the potential of the direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) process to save energy and raw materials.
GKN to acquire clutch and brake manufacturer
GKN plc has signed an agreement to acquire the entire issued share capital of Stromag Holding GmbH (Stromag), a manufacturer of industrial power management components, including clutches, electro-magnetic brakes and flexible couplings.
Registration is now open for a PM machinability seminar sponsored by the MPIF and EPMA, with cost savings available if users register by 5th August.

PowderMet 2010: North American PM market turning the corner – slowly but surely
There is tangible evidence that the pains of the global recession are subsiding and that an economic recovery – albeit a tepid one – is well under way. But not everyone is feeling the rebound to the same degree. Reginald Tucker, editor, Metal Finishing magazine, recaps the highlights from PowderMet 2010 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., where equipment manufacturers, parts makers, and powder suppliers alike convened to network, learn, and, of course, buy and sell.
Different approaches give choice in picking appropriate powders
Given the competitive nature of business, especially when times are tough, product differentiation is often the real message behind the anodyne phrases that describe ‘customer choice’…
EDS as a method of manufacturing diamond tools
This paper details the use of electro discharge sintering (EDS) to sinter diamond containing segments to high density and strength from standard iron powders using a split mould with insulating sides and conductive punches. Additional segments were made from iron powder and diamond manufactured in strip form and cut to shape …
Belarus using technology to build a better PM industry
The countries of the former Eastern Bloc are using PM technologies developed during the Soviet era but combining and sharpening them by the use of imported new technologies…

Attritors and Ferrite Grinding Applications
In today's electronic world, the demand for high quality ferrite products is rising rapidly. There are several types of ferrites and the preparation of all these are similar; the principal difference is in the raw material used.
