Ametek SMP launches new High Green Strength Stainless Steel Powders for Powder Metallurgy
June 20, 2024
Ametek Specialty Metal Products (SMP), Collegeville, Pennsylvania, USA, has announced the launch of its new ‘High Green Strength Stainless Steel Powders’, suitable for a wide range of automotive and industrial Powder Metallurgy parts.
The new High Green Strength Powders consistently provide a 50% or greater improvement in green strength in 300 and 400 series stainless steel grades relative to powders mixed with standard EBS wax. This enhancement is said to have minimal impact on sintered density, dimensional change, and other properties.
Manufactured using advanced water atomisation technology, the High Green Strength Powders are reported to reduce part damage during die ejection and part transfer, leading to more efficient processing and lower manufacturing costs.
