FerAlloy ST3
| Product group: | Ferrous Alloy powder |
| Description of the material and main chemical components: | Blend of iron alloy powder (type ST0) with Ni and Cu powders. Processed in "diffusion bond" line |
| Description of the manufacturing process: | blending, homogeneisation, diffusion bonding, sieving |
| Typical applications: | Sintering of Ferrous components with good mechanical performances where either thermal treatment or sinter-tempering is applied |
| Main characteristic of the product Type: | High presence of Mo (pre alloyed with Fe) and Cu and Ni give a homogeneous material with best mechanical performances after sinter tempering. Best stability also from dimensional changes aspect |
| Particle shape: | irregular |
| Particle Sieving size (Full range): | 180 |
| Particle upper cut size (Typical): | 180 |
| Apparent density (Typical): | 3,05 |
| Recommended Pakaging: | BB 1500 |
| Application notes: | ST3 is normally used with simple addition of Graphite and lubricants. Sinter tempering possible in specific furnaces |
| Key elements: | Fe iron, Ni nickel, Cu copper, Mo molybdenum |
| Key Processing: | Annealing, Diffusion Bonding, Atomisation: powder |
Other grades are available
| grade | sieving size | Ot% | added elements | apparent density |
| ST3 | 180 | 0,15 | Mo at 1,5%, Cu at 2%, Ni at 4% | 3,0 to 3,15 |
