Seminars, Events & Training 2018 Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) Seminar Design for Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) 6-7 February 2018 Västerås, Sweden Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is a competitive and proven manufacturing process for the production of complex and highly specified components, particularly in sectors that have highly demanding environments such as aerospace, offshore, energy and medical. It provides many benefits and has become a viable and high performance alternative to conventional processes such as forging, casting and machining in many applications. The Design for HIP seminar will be of interest to end users, designers as well as technical and managerial personnel in the HIP industry. The event will have two main focuses: how companies can use HIP covering topics such as the process, designing canisters and simulation as well as case studies on companies that are already using HIP. Course Fee EPMA Members (paid up): 700 Academics (Non-Members): 700 Non-Members: 1000 End Users: 400* The course fee includes two night s accommodation at the hotel (5 and 6 February 2018), coffee breaks, lunches and a dinner (6 February 2018) for all course participants to enjoy and network.

Seminars, Events & Training 2018 Functional Materials Seminar Functional PM Components in Next Generation Electric Cars 16-17 April 2018 Jülich, Germany In the future more and more cars will have an electric drive system. The electrical cars today are not taking benefit of the variety of functional materials that can be produced within powder metal processing. Potential materials that could be utilsed include SMC, magneto caloric materials, thermo electric materials, porous heat pipes, permanent magnets, hydrogen carriers, fuel cell plates among many others. The Functional Materials Seminar will be a workshop with the aim of increasing knowledge in this area to help build up a consortium of companies and universities producing and developing functional materials that can be used in an optimised electrical car. Industry experts present the potential use of these materials in cars, followed up by a workshop preparing a consortium for a Horizon2020 application under the umbrella of EPMA. Course Fee EPMA Members (paid up): 600 Academics (Non-Members): 600 Non-Members: 900 End Users: 400* The course fees includes one night accommodation at the hotel, coffee breaks, lunch and a special dinner in Jülich on the evening of 16 April.

Seminars, Events & Training 2018 SUMMEREV SUMMEREV 18: Heterogeneity of Hardmetals and Superhard Materials 7-8 June 2018 Stockholm, Sweden For a decade or more the European Hard Materials Group has promoted regular discussion meetings (WINTEREV/ SUMMEREVs) to facilitate discussion of topical research items, such as mechanical and microstructural test methods, amongst, primarily, a European community of research institutions and industry. The current SUMMEREV will address a broadly defined topic of heterogeneity including: effects of local or global heterogeneities; characterisation and properties; developments in mechanical testing; with an emphasis on modelling and measurement. SUMMEREV 18 will focus on a range of these topics, with special emphasis on the characterisation of heterogeneity. However, the definition of which precise aspect is to be left to individual contributors with the specific objective of cross fertilisation of ideas between the different technologies of interest. REGISTRATION DEADLINE 9 May 2018 www.epma.com/winterev-summerev 8

Seminars, Events & Training 2018 Metal Additive Manufacturing Seminar Additive Manufacturing AM-Motion Summer School September 2018 AM-Motion is a European Funded Project of which EPMA is a consortium member. The overall objective of the AM-Motion is to contribute to a rapid market uptake of AM technologies across Europe by connecting and upscaling existing initiatives and efforts, improving the conditions for large-scale, cross-regional demonstration and market deployment, and by involving a large number of key stakeholders, particularly from industry. One of the outcomes of this European Funded Project is the establishment of the AM-Motion Student Summer School in September 2018, aimed at Post Graduate Students. The Summer School will be organised with the support of AM experts and consortium partners in the second summer of the project. Duration will be around 2-3 days to exchange, spread the knowledge and give rise to vocations. Main AM concepts, existing materials and processes will be explained. In addition, design and manufacturing paradigms, market relevance and specific best practices examples will be included. Students will apply by sending their CV and explaining their interest. Trip reimbursements are foreseen for 20 students up to a threshold of 300. More students would be encouraged under own/school expenses. Further details will be available from www.epma.com/ projects/am-motion and www.am-motion.eu in due course 10
