Standard Specification for Iron-Phosphorus Powder Metallurgy (P/M) Parts for Soft Magnetic Applications
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification covers parts produced from pressing and sintering of iron-phosphorus powders. The specification does not cover parts produced by metal injection molding. These parts are used in magnetic applications requiring higher permeability and electrical resistivity and lower coercive field strength than routinely attainable in parts produced from unalloyed iron powder. Two powder types are covered: Type I containing nominally 0.45% phosphorus, and Type II containing nominally 0.8% phosphorus. Apart from chemistry, parts produced to this specification shall have a minimum sintered density and maximum allowable coercive field strength. The minimum sintered density shall be 6.8 g/cm3 (6800 kg/m3) in the magnetically critical section of the part. Three grades with increasing maximum allowable coercive field strength are defined for each powder type. Detailed appendices showing the effect of sintering conditions on the magnetic and mechanical properties of parts made from both powders are included in this specification.
Scope
1.1 This specification covers parts produced from iron-phosphorus powder metallurgy materials. These parts are used in magnetic applications requiring higher permeability and electrical resistivity and lower coercive field strength than attainable routinely from parts produced from iron powder.
1.2 Two powder types are covered; Type I containing nominally 0.45 % phosphorus, and Type II containing nominally 0.8 % phosphorus.
1.3 This specification deals with P/M parts in the sintered or annealed condition. Should the sintered parts be subjected to any secondary operation that causes mechanical strain, such as machining or sizing, they should be resintered or annealed.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
