Metal powder extrusion of advanced alloy, by Peter Kjeldsteen

The latest talk in the Warwick Manufacturing Group seminars organised by Prakash Srirangam.

Metal Powder Extrusion was first developed at Sintex in 2011 in order to produce advanced stainless filters. Since 2011 new applications have appeared within crash absorption and high temperature materials. In this presentation, the development of metal powder based twinning-induced plasticity alloys is presented together with the latest solution for high density electrical power for gas heating in the direct reduction of iron processes. The latest solution has potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions if implemented in the steel refining industry.

Peter Kjeldsteen graduated from The Danish Technical University in 1999 as Master of Science in Chemical Engineering. In 2014 he also graduated with an e-MBA in Innovation. He has been working with spray-forming of high alloyed tool steels from 1999 to 2006 and been developing and innovating new alloys and processes within the world of powder metallurgy at Sintex since 2007. Peter is active in the European Metal Powder Association (EPMA) where he is chairing a community within functional materials. Furthermore, he is also active as board member of the Danish Metallurgical Society and is teaching within metallurgy and innovation as guest teacher at several Danish Universities. Lately, he has initiated “a video podcast on metallurgy” trying to show the need for material science in our future society.
