Dr. Iver Anderson is highly regarded for his research accomplishments in the area of powder metallurgy and rapid solidification, and its implementation into new and innovative magnetic materials, structural components, and lightweight and porous materials. Dr. Anderson’s research is focused on powder metallurgy and rapid solidification; high pressure gas atomization of fine metal powders; centrifugal atomization/fluid quenching of spherical powders of rare-earth metals/compounds and other alloys, as well as materials joining including lead-free solders, resistance welding, and ceramic composite bonding. A key theme of his career has been metallic alloy design for powder metallurgy, leveraging the unique advantages of the powder production process to impart benefits in the final component, including tuning of the atomization technologies for powder yields, processibility, or surface control.
This symposium will cover all aspects of atomization technology and powder metallurgy for advanced applications. Key topics to be explored include, but are not limited to:
- Powder metallurgy as a technology enabler
- Advancements in atomization technologies, especially for reactive metals (e.g. Ti, Mg, Ca)
- Novel materials and microstructures via powder processing
- Structure-processing-properties-performance relationships of powder-consolidated materials
- Additive powder material feedstock manufacturing
- Advanced powder material analysis and characterization
- Powder materials unique properties under extreme conditions
- Sustainability aspects of powder metallurgy |
