DESCRIPTION:<p>Powder metallurgy has been the default manufacturing route f
 or tungsten because of its scalability and process maturity. However\, it 
 carries fundamental constraints such as long lead times tied to tooling\, 
 multiple required processing steps and susceptibility to internal defects 
 that limit design flexibility and performance in demanding applications.</
 p><p>Electron beam powder bed fusion\, or EB-PBF\, offers an alternative r
 oute for manufacturing pure and alloyed tungsten parts. By processing tung
 sten layer by layer in a vacuum at elevated temperatures\, EB-PBF avoids t
 he oxidation\, cracking and porosity mechanisms that complicate convention
 al tungsten manufacturing. By manufacturing with EB-PBF\, tungsten parts c
 an be made for high-density\, high-temperature applications such as hypers
 onics\, kinetic penetrators and radiation shielding.</p><p>The webinar wil
 l provide a comparison of both processes\, covering mechanical and materia
 l properties\, design considerations and end-to-end manufacturing workflow
 . Attendees will leave with a framework for evaluating which route fits th
 eir application requirements.</p><h4>Agenda</h4><ul><li>Powder metallurgy 
 process for tungsten: Where it works well and what fundamental constraints
  limit part performance and design flexibility.</li><li>Electron beam powd
 er bed fusion for tungsten: How a tungsten 3D printing process addresses c
 hallenges in cracking\, oxidation and internal defects that have made tung
 sten manufacturing difficult.</li><li>Side-by-side comparative analysis: A
 n evaluation of both manufacturing processes and which applications are mo
 st suitable for powder metallurgy versus EB-PBF.</li></ul>
