The Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) has published the 2009 edition of MPIF Standard 35, Materials Standards for PM Structural Parts. Aimed at design/materials engineers and purchasing agents, the 84-page standard contains new information on many of the 96 industry-approved ferrous, nonferrous, and stainless steel materials used to make powder metallurgy (PM) parts. It features new sinter-hardened steels (FLC2-5208 and FL-5305) as well as the first high-temperature-sintered hybrid low-alloy steel material (FLN4-4405(HTS)) in the as-sintered and heat-treated conditions. It also includes new fatigue data for 300 series stainless steels and unnotched Charpy impact energy values for several soft magnetic alloys.
The revised standard also contains new hardenability (Jominy) data for two sinter-hardened steels (FLC2-5208 and FL-5305) and new corrosion resistance data for two stainless steels (SS-304H and SS-316H). All materials property values are presented in inch-pound and SI units.
The new standard is available in several versions at a list price of $50: hard-copy printed editions, CD-ROM, or downloadable digital (pdf) format. It can be purchased online (www.mpif.org) along with other MPIF materials standards covering powder-forged steel PM parts, metal injection molded (MIM) parts, and PM self-lubricating bearings.
