The 2018 World Powder Metallurgy Conference (WORLDPM2018) was held in Beijing from September 17th to 20th. The World Powder Congress is held every two years and is the highest level international conference in the powder metallurgy industry. This is the first time the highly anticipated World Powder Metallurgy Conference has come to China. It is co-sponsored by the Chinese Society for Metals (CSM) and the Strategic Alliance for Technology Innovation of the Powder Metallurgy Industry (CPMA). More than 1,000 experts and scholars from 32 countries and regions including Australia, China and China gathered in Beijing to discuss the sustainable development of powder metallurgy engineering and technology in the world.
The theme of this conference is: build a high-end platform, strengthen industry communication, share the latest results, and achieve win-win cooperation. Leaders from ministries and research institutions such as the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs attended the meeting to witness the highest specification and most authoritative academic conference in the global powder metallurgy industry. The meeting was co-chaired by Cai Rang, Chairman of the Powder Metallurgy Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance, Zhao Pei, Executive Vice President of the Metal Society, and Tian Zhiling, Deputy General Manager of China Steel Research Technology Group Co., Ltd. Former Minister of National Science and Technology, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Xu Guanhua, China Metals The chairman of the society, the director of the National New Materials Advisory Committee, the former vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the deputy director of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology Cao Guoying addressed the meeting, fully affirming the development achievements of the global powder metallurgy industry, and High hopes for future development.
At the meeting, well-known experts Qian Yong, Huang Boyun, Wang Huaming, Dong Yang, Zhang Shaoming, Li Huilong, Li Chunlong, Kazunari Shinagawa, Bernd Kieback, Matthew Bulger, etc. made wonderful academic reports, focusing on new theories, new processes, new products and new technologies of powder metallurgy. Application, in-depth discussion of the opportunities and challenges facing the world's manufacturing industry, new materials industry and powder metallurgy industry. The four-day conference set up 15 related themed venues, 7 topics of interest, 91 academic reports, and more than 570 professional papers. In addition, the conference also presented individual and product awards of the World Congress, and the powder metallurgy industry summit forum will be held on the 19th.
At the World Powder Metallurgy Exhibition held at the same time, the latest technologies and products in the field of powder metallurgy were displayed. The convening of this conference has played a positive role in strengthening the exchanges and cooperation between powder metallurgy industries in various countries around the world and promoting the development of the global powder metallurgy industry.
Powder metallurgy technology is globally recognized as a green, efficient, low-carbon, and sustainable manufacturing technology. It has received increasing attention from manufacturing and governments around the world, and plays a very important role in the economic development of countries. Powder metallurgy technology and products play an irreplaceable role in the industries of national defense, energy and transportation, high-end equipment, petroleum and petrochemicals, new-generation electronic components, and new medical equipment. Today, nanotechnology and additive manufacturing technology have also entered the emerging field of powder metallurgy. After decades of development, China's powder metallurgy technology and industry have made world-renowned breakthroughs and achievements, and made important contributions to the development of the national economy and national defense industry.
The convening of the World Powder Metallurgy Global Summit will drive China's powder metallurgy industry into a trend of the world's powder metallurgy with a more forward-looking vision, a more open mind, and deeper cooperation. The conference will also strengthen exchanges and cooperation in the field of powder metallurgy, and promote the global powder metallurgy industry to achieve win-win cooperation and coordinated development at a higher quality and higher level. I believe that with the power of scientific and technological innovation and the charm of new materials, powder metallurgy technology will create a new chapter in the beautiful life of people around the world!
