The Powder Metallurgy Association of India an association of Indian and overseas PM professionals from industry, research institutions and academia, is conducting its annual international conference for the year 2017 in New Delhi.

Delhi, the capital of India with a rich history since the 6th century BCE is situated in northern India and stands on the west bank of the Yamuna River, surrounded by the state of Uttar Pardesh on the east and on the north, west and south by Haryana. It is a huge spread out metropolis with a population of around 14 million. Several large automobile manufacturers are based in and around Delhi such as Harley-Davidson, Hero Motocorp, Honda Motorcycle, Yamaha Motor, Suzuki, Maruti Suzuki, LML, Honda Cars and Tata Motors. Also there are many research institution like DRDO, CSIR, DEAL, DIPAS, IRDE, LASTEC, SSPL, etc.,

Technical Sessions

Powder metallurgy, the preferred net shaping method for manufacturing complex parts in steel, stainless steel, copper alloys, refractory metals, hard metals, heavy metals, ceramics and composites has been around for some time but is now getting a boost with increased energy and environment consciousness. The development of lifestyle & health devices, VVT, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, fuel cells, catalytic converters, composite electrical contacts, advanced sensors, light weight components and thermoelectric devices have been made possible by the use of several technologies that comprise the science & practice of Powder Metallurgy and Particulate Materials. The conference addresses these and related developments by way of presentations made by experts in each field during the plenary sessions.

The concurrent Annual Technical Meet of PMAI provides a platform for researchers from industry & academia to present their work.
