The powder metallurgy industry is a very important industry in the field of metal processing. Compared with other processing technologies, the powder metallurgy industry is more technically difficult.

From September 17 to September 20, 2018, the 2018 World Conference on Powder Metallurgy (WORLDPM2018) was held in Beijing, China. The main topic of this conference is to create a platform for the powder metallurgy industry to facilitate high-end exchanges, and to share the latest technological achievements of powder metallurgy industry companies and experts around the world, so as to achieve technological innovation and win-win cooperation in the entire industry. The second powder metallurgy conference attracted experts and technical scholars from 57 industrially developed and developing countries such as the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, etc. to exchange and discuss.

The world's powder metallurgy is held every 2 years. In the past, it was mainly held in European and American countries. During the short years from 2014 to 2016, powder metallurgy in China has flourished. Therefore, this powder metallurgy conference was chosen to be held in Beijing, China.
