Features

High Green Strength:

  • Surface morphology assures powder compacts of good structural integrity, improving thin section reliability and facilitating green part handling.

Low Growth Characteristics:

  • The high purity and large specific surface area of Atomet 25 allow for rapid sintering and high dimensional control.
  • This allows close-to-die-size part design, reduces sintered dimensional variation and improves dimensional control of infiltrated parts.

Consistency:

  • A stable ore base and statistically controlled manufacturing process assure lot-to-lot consistency and reduced part-to-part variation.
  • Increased productivity and reduced processing cost are the result.

High Purity:

  • Atomet 25 is produced from ore, not scrap, assuring a consistently pure product.
  • Consistency of premix chemistry and improved compressibility are benefits that help extend tool life and promote rapid sintering.
