Material Use

Materials used in P/M components include ferrous and nonferrous metals and nonmetallics. Iron, in combination with copper and/or nickel, and often with carbon, is commonly used. Bronze is a major material in bushings and bearings. Other materials are aluminum and aluminum alloys, beryllium, brass, cobalt, copper, copper-nickel, iron-nickel, molybdenum, nickel and nickel alloys, steel of various carbon contents, stainless steel, titanium, tungsten, and zirconium.

Following is a table of materials and their suitability to the pressure sintering process.

A value of zero means that the corresponding material is never used with this process, a ranking of 100 means that it is excellent for use with this process.
