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.

Stainless steel powder 409L/409CB is a ferritic, weldable grade of stainless steel with key performance features, including high compressibility, enhanced green strength and good sinterability. This stabilized grade provides excellent corrosion resistance and has the capacity to provide high-caliber mechanical properties due to the high temperature sintering response. 409L/409CB’s versatility also results from Cb being less prone to oxidation than Ti. In addition, the oxide is unable to combine with carbon and the Cb forms a stable carbide which prevents coarsening of carbides and grains in the weld’s HAZ. 409L/409CB Stainless steel is a prime candidate for automotive exhaust system applications, among other uses. 409LNI Powder has added nickel for new automotive specifications. Ferritic stainless steel powdered metallurgy (P/M) technology is specified for longer-term performance and reliability. Good atmospheric and saline corrosion

AMETEK’s 316 grade stainless steel powder includes many fully customized powder specifications by varying lubricant type, content and particle size. We manufacture high quality 316L powders to fit your applications. 316L stainless steel powders are used in stainless steel flakes and are also used for paint additive manufacturing and chemical filtration. 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 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.

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.
