Powder metal materials information aids design engineers

摘要

MPIF Standard 35 has been providing powder metallurgy engineers with data on mechanical and magnetic material powders for some time and it has recently been updated to include a range of new materials.The information was generated through testing programmes conducted by the Metal Injection Moulding Association, using fine metal powders mixed with a binder to produce intricate precision metal parts.Peter Johnson, Managing Editor of the International Journal of Powder Metallurgy, explains the updated information.In an effort to provide the most up-to-date physical and mechanical properties information to design engineers, the powder metallurgy (PM) industry recently introduced major revisions to MPIF Standard 35, Materials Standards for PM Structural Parts.
