Powder Metallurgy: A Global Market Review
Powder Metallurgy: A Global Market Review
Unique and exclusive to the IPMD is our 24 page ‘PM Global Market Review’ which analyses trends in the various sectors of the PM industry – globally and regionally. The review has been compiled by Bernard Williams, former Executive Director of the European Powder Metallurgy Association.
The review charts the turbulent effects of the recent recession as reflected in some of the key statistics in regional and global shipments relating to ferrous and non-ferrous PM products, hardmetals, diamond tools, PM semi-products and powder-based magnets.
