Metallurgy - Import export

We have a long and established history in serving the global Powder Metallurgy industry with substantial historical product developments and leadership representation at Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF). Our ability to engineer customized, structural metal powders through water atomization for Powder Metallurgy (PM) applications is world renown, particularly in the automotive and industrial markets. Powder Metallurgy (PM) is the process of pressing and sintering a metal powder into a near net shape part that offers numerous advantages over other metal forming technologies including: High customization such as size, alloy and properties Cost effectiveness and sustainability due to near net shape or net shape production Shape complexity without secondary operation Products We manufacture an extensive range of alloys to numerous customers specifications including chemistry modifications.

Stainless steel powder 304L is a corrosion resistant material that exhibits good property stability below 1000°F. 304L powder is often the most practical stainless steel choice for parts that need the benefit of an austenitic grade. 304 Stainless steel exhibits better overall corrosion resistance than 303 grade. This material is a good choice for parts that will not be subjected to demanding machining operations. A major benefit of this material is the balance of good material performance and economical cost. The 300 Series Powders are austenitic stainless steels typically used for powdered metallurgy (P/M) press and sinter applications to make near net shape parts for a variety of industrial applications.

The 300 Series Powders are austenitic stainless steels typically used for powdered metallurgy (P/M) press and sinter applications to make near net shape parts for a variety of industrial applications. Stainless steel powder 303L is a free machining, austenitic grade that offers moderate corrosion resistance. This stainless steel is sintered in either a partial vacuum or a hydrogren atmosphere to improve ductility and corrosion resistance. 303 Stainless steel powder is a sulfurized grade that is an excellent option for parts that require secondary machining operations, such as food service equipment, pump components and nonmagnetic housings.

Our sophisticated powder metallurgy process allows us to manufacture shaped components including net shapes, bar, plate, rod and tube. These custom-made components are used for critical applications in the mining and drilling, aerospace, electronics and industrial sectors. Pfinodal® (UNS C72900) We offer Pfinodal® (UNS C72900) as a replacement for Toughmet® UNS C72900 material and Beryllium Copper Alloys. AMETEK Specialty Metal Products obtained patents for its powder metallurgically produced product in 1983 and has been serving customers worldwide ever since. Key advantages include: High hardness and strength Non-magnetic properties required in bearing material Low distortion during hardening allows for the complex forming of parts and shapes prior to heat treatment without the need for costly fixtures Non-sparking and non-corrosive Anti-Galling Anti-Seizing Excellent Ductility Excellent Formability Excellent Lubricity Excellent Machinability

AMETEK offers a range of wear resistant tool steel powers used in P/M, MIM, and metal additive manufacturing. Tool steels use a combination of C, Cr, Mo, V, and W in an Fe based alloy to generate a carbide microstructure in the metal alloy. Powder Metallurgy (P/M) tool steels offer the highest grade of performance, especially in respect to toughness, due to the extremely fine and uniform distribution of carbides resulting from the atomization process. AMETEK offers multiple grades in the M, D, and T series of tool steels including M3-5, D-2, and T-15 among others. Each tool steel is optimized for its respective purpose to give exceptional properties. Some tool steels, such as our premium T-15 grade, can result in hardness near 70 HRC when appropriately processed and heat treated. Materials that have been routinely produced include M-2, M3-2, M3-5, M4-2, D2, and T15.

AMETEK has the metallurgical expertise to produce specialty powders for super-niche and highly engineered applications. Our experience has made us a global leader in the field. Customized and Specialty Alloys Utilizing high pressure water atomization under carefully controlled conditions, we develop innovative powders in an extensive range of standard and custom alloys. Niche Applications Our high alloy powders are used in specialty segments including Sintered Metal Filters, Fiber – polyester and nylon production, Plastic Compounding, Hardfacing and Surface Coating, Powder Metallurgy (P/M), and Metal Injection Molding (MIM). Typical alloys include

We offer two Spinodal alloy grades produced through the same wrought powder metallurgy as copper based products with nickel and tin additions. Our Pfinodal® (C72900) and AM 388® (C72650) spinodal materials deliver similar mechanical properties to Beryllium Copper alloy (C17200) but without the carcinogenic exposure risks. Advantages include: No carcinogenic elements - only copper/nickel/tin Ductile state and heat treatable Electrically conductive Reduced distortion during heat treatment Reduced stress relaxation Safe Alternative to Beryllium Copper (UNS C17200) Recently, Pfinodal® and AM-388® have been chosen as a replacement for Beryllium Copper due to the carcinogenic effects of Beryllium and fears of bans on Beryllium containing products due to REACH, RoHS, and OSHA mandates. Spinodal materials are gaining acceptance in new projects as well as legacy qualifications as manufacturers, OEMs, and consumers reject products

In recent years, as Powder Metallurgy (P/M) Stainless Steels have become more prevalent in numerous markets, AMETEK has invested in production capability and technology stainless steel powders. Among the results of these efforts are AMETEK’s patented Ultra Stainless Steels™ which are produced by alloying conventional austenitic compositions with a small amount of tin and copper. This combination of metals results in a marked improvement in corrosion resistance when compared to typical austenitic P/M parts while maintaining mechanical properties.
