SHJ CARBON At PM China 2026: Exploring Graphite Solutions For Powder Metallurgy & Cemented Carbides
Mar 16, 2026
We'll Be at PM China 2026 – Come Say Hello!
The 18th China International Powder Metallurgy & Cemented Carbides Exhibition (PM China 2026) is just around the corner, and we at SHJ CARBON are excited to be part of the action.
It's the go-to event for anyone in the powder metallurgy and hard metals world – and this year's show is shaping up to be the biggest yet:
- 55,000+ sqm of exhibition space
- 1,000+ exhibitors from around the globe
- 80,000+ visitors expected over three days
If you're in the business of powder metallurgy or cemented carbides, this is where you need to be. And if you're going, we'd love to meet you.
Dates: March 24–26, 2026
Location: National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC), Shanghai
Why Graphite Matters in Your Industry
You might know graphite as "that black stuff" – but in powder metallurgy and cemented carbides, it's a critical material that quietly makes everything work.
For Cemented Carbide Production
The quality of your carbon source directly impacts your final product. High-purity graphite helps achieve precise carbon control during carburization, leading to finer grain structures and better mechanical properties. Think: harder, tougher, more consistent carbides.
For Powder Metallurgy
Graphite pulls double duty here:
As a lubricant – improves powder flow during pressing
In sintering – graphite tooling and heating elements handle the heat
As a carbon source – when you need to introduce carbon into your mix
Beyond the Basics
We're also seeing some exciting developments in structural design – using expanded graphite templates to create layered carbide structures with enhanced wear resistance. It's the kind of innovation that happens when you really understand your materials.
What SHJ CARBON Brings to the Table
We've been working with graphite and carbon materials for years – long enough to know that one size doesn't fit all. Different applications need different solutions.
Here's what we'll be talking about at the show:
| Product | Where It's Used | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| High-purity Graphite | Sintering boats, heating elements | Handles high temps, resists oxidation, holds its shape |
| Specialty Carbon Powders | Carbon source for carbides, powder lubricants | Consistent purity, controlled particle size |
| Isostatic Graphite | Furnace components, continuous sintering | Uniform properties in all directions, lasts longer |
Whether you're fine-tuning an existing process or developing something new, we probably have a graphite grade that fits.
Let's Talk Shop
We won't have a massive booth with flashing lights – but our technical team will be on-site, and we're genuinely looking forward to meeting people who work with these materials every day. Some things we're happy to chat about:
- Selecting the right graphite for your PM process
- Controlling carbon quality in carbide production
- Custom graphite solutions for specific applications
- Troubleshooting issues with graphite tooling or components
- No sales pitch – just real talk about materials and processes.

By metro: Line 2, East Xujing Station – you're basically there.
By car: Plenty of parking (P1–P30), but expect traffic.
Pro Tip
Pre-register online before you go – it saves time and you won't be standing in line. Just don't forget your ID or passport for entry.
The 18th China International Powder Metallurgy & Cemented Carbides Exhibition (PM China 2026) will be held from March 24–26, 2026 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) in Shanghai.
Worth noting: SEMICON China 2026 – the flagship event for the global semiconductor industry – takes place at the same time and in the same venue complex.
That means if you're following both the semiconductor and powder metallurgy sectors, one trip to Shanghai covers two of the biggest industry events of the year.
And SHJ CARBON will be actively involved in both shows – with teams on-site at each venue, ready to connect. We look forward to meeting you there!
