7:30am-11:30am CPD 1: Securely Fastened Joints

Instructor: Bruno Marbacher, The Bossard Group

Bruno Marbacher is the Engineering Manager of Bossard. He has been with Bossard for more than 20 years and received his degree in Switzerland in mechanical engineering and business and administration. He has more than 25 years experience in mechanical engineering with a number of years in mechanical design. For the last 20 plus years he specialized in fastening and assembly technology.

During the years here in America, he has given numerous seminars on topics related to the proper use of mechanical fasteners and machine elements. In recent years together with his engineering team has conducted many line walks and product teardowns to provide more reliable and cost-efficient fastened joints.

The Bossard Group is a group of companies which is active in fastening technology worldwide. In addition to our broad range of quality products, we provide full engineering support for fastener applications and offer logistics services for fasteners and other C parts.

7:30am-11:30am CPD 2: Design Powder Metallurgy Parts with More

Complex Geometries, Higher Densities and Improved Dynamic Properties

Instructor: Hoeganaes Corporation

Hoeganaes, the world's leader in the production of ferrous powders, has been certified by DNV under the ISO/TS 16949:2002 quality management system. Hoeganaes has fueled that growth with successive waves of technology which have expanded the use of metal powders for a wide variety of applications. While the single largest application for ferrous powders is in the production of pressed and sintered parts, Hoeganaes serves a diverse set of industries, including welding, photocopy, friction, chemical, and metallurgical applications. Hoeganaes commenced operations in Riverton, New Jersey in 1953.

Parts designers for industrial OEMs will find this half-day seminar highly informative and useful in designing powder metallurgy parts with more complex geometries, higher densities and improved dynamic properties. The Seminar is broken into four modules which

are:

Module 1 - Introduction to the P/M industry

Module 2 - Design Guidelines Review

Module 3 - Material Standards Overview

Module 4 - Mechanical Properties Capabilities

By attending the course you will receive the Hoeganaes Design Guide that includes: A copy of all presentations (Designing and Case Studies); The Powder Metallurgy Design Manual 3rd Edition; MPIF Standards 35 - The Materials Standard for P/M Structural Parts;A CD-ROM Video - Designing for Powder Metallurgy.
