Hybrid Low-Alloy Steel Metal Parts
Powdered Metal Hybrid Low-Alloy powders have been precisely developed to excel in medium to high-density Powder Metallurgy (PM) applications. These advanced materials provide greater hardening than is possible with admixed copper or nickel steels.Hybrid Low-Alloy powders offer additional material refinement to your projects, offering enhanced hardenability and the versatility of heat treatment.
What are Hybrid Low-Alloy Steel Powders?
Hybrid Low-Alloy Steel powders represent an advancement in metallurgical engineering. It is a specialized blend of low-alloy powders using nickel, molybdenum and manganese as the major alloying elements to which varying amounts of elemental powder(s) have been admixed. Graphite powder is then admixed with the steel powder to provide carbon in the final material These high performance materials are used in applications when heat treatment is required for high strength and wear resistance.

Key Advantages of Hybrid Low-Alloy Steel
Improved Mechanical Properties and Customization: Hybrid low-ally steel powders combine the characteristics of different alloying elements. By combining the benefits of the alloying elements, mechanical properties of strength, hardness and wear resistance can be improved. Hybrid low-alloy steel powders can be further fine tuned for specific or unique part requirements.
Cost Efficiency and Process Improvements: Through the combination of different alloying elements, material properties can be achieved with potentially lower cost elements depending on the material used and the specifics of the application.. Additionally, hybrid low-alloy material can provide better flow and improved compaction resulting in process cost improvements.
Tailored for Medium to High Density PM Applications: The versatility of hybrid low-alloy steel makes it a prime candidate for a wide range of powder metallurgy applications, especially those requiring medium to high density. From automotive components to industrial machinery, these materials excel in diverse settings.
Better Heat Treatment Response: One of the distinctive features of hybrid low-alloy steel is its suitability for heat treatment. This allows for further optimizing the material's mechanical properties, such as an increase in hardness or ductility depending the type of heat treatment applied.
