These Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) 2024 PM Design Excellence Awards Competition Conventional Press & Sinter Grand Prize winning support bushings solved a problem encountered during cleaning and maintenance of the heliostats in a concentrated solar-power generation application. Heliostats, equipped with large mirrors, are arranged in a circle around a central receiver tower and focus solar rays to heat a synthetic oil that is used to generate steam to power a turbine and generate electricity. The PM component facilitates an improved connection between the azimuth drive of a heliostat and a fixed steel support pylon in the ground.

This Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) 2024 PM Design Excellence Awards Competition Conventional Press & Sinter Award of Distinction winning components are used in a diesel exhaust fluid injector flange assembly is used in a mid-size pick-up truck to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxide gas exiting the tailpipe. Austenitic 304 stainless steel was selected for its combined “good” corrosion resistance and “weldability.” Congratulations @APG Sintered Metals, a Division of Nichols Portland Inc. on your conventional press & sinter PM design! Follow this exciting metal-forming solution by visiting PickPM.com. #powdermetallurgy #advancedmanufacturing #PickPM

This Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) 2024 PM Design Excellence Awards Competition Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Grand Prize winning screw chuck is used during orthopedic surgery. The screw chuck is part of a larger assembly that allows a surgeon to drill screws into the spinal regions of patients. Once the screw is inserted the assembly needs to be broken in two and easily removed.

This Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) 2024 PM Design Excellence Awards Competition Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) Award of Distinction winning pneumatic chuck jaws are used for work-holding in a lathe. Compared with traditional work-holding chuck jaws, these light-weight jaws offer an 84% reduction in rotating mass and a fraction of the centrifugal force that the pneumatic chuck must overcome at full rotational speed. Made using the material jetting process, the inner-lattice structure is formed without having to de-powder, eliminating the risk of free powder entrapment.
