The 10th Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference (MAMC 2026) is being held in Vienna from November 10 to 12, organized by the Austrian Society for Metallurgy and Materials (ASMET). The conference covers nine themes, including metal AM powders, laser and electron beam melting, and aerospace and defense applications, with November 11 being the second day. This edition features a special Highlight session on additive manufacturing of refractory metals. Plansee, the University of Innsbruck, JEOL, and others are giving multiple talks on PBF-LB/M and PBF-EB/M forming of tungsten. Addressing tungsten's extremely high melting point, low-temperature brittleness, sensitivity to impurities, and cracking tendency, the talks explore grain-refining alloying strategies and electron beam process optimization, with the goal of matching or even exceeding the performance of conventionally powder-metallurgy-produced tungsten parts. Tungsten and other refractory metals are critical materials for nuclear fusion, defense, and high-temperature applications, and their AM forming has long been limited by powder quality and process windows. For powder buyers, impurity control and batch consistency of high-purity fine-particle tungsten powder are prerequisites for scaling refractory metal AM, and attention should be paid to tungsten powder specification developments from leading manufacturers such as Plansee.
