Materials used in Metal Sintering
A great number of sintering powders can be used in the metal sintering process to manufacture a number of sintered parts and components , ranging from iron and carbon steel components and parts, to sintered tungsten and sintered aluminum parts.
Noted below are tables of common sintering materials, but note that for each, a number of alloys are available that are not necessarily noted. Some of the materials / powders used in metal sintering includes:
- Iron and Carbon Steels
- Iron-Copper and Copper Steels
- Iron-Nickel and Nickel Steels
