Rio Tinto Metal Powders Company Logo
Rio Tinto Metal Powders Atomet 4801 is a highly compressible, water-atomized alloy steel containing 4.0% Ni designed for use in high-strength applications, requiring high wear resistance. The sinter hardening properties of Atomet 4801 allow parts to be fabricated requiring no additional processing other than an optional tempering to increase strength even further. Prealloying removes all free Ni from the powder, ensuring health and safety norms are respected.
