Iron-Copper & Copper Steel Powder Metal Materials
At Atlas Pressed Metals, we offer iron-copper and copper-steel materials engineered to excel in medium strength structural applications. Our materials typically feature a copper content of 2%, providing an optimal balance of strength and performance.
When secondary machining is required, our materials can be specified with combined carbon contents of less than 0.5%, ensuring precision to meet your project's unique demands.
Furthermore, the material in this category also can be heat-treated to increase strength and wear resistance.
For applications requiring additional wear resistance or when heat treatment may not be practical, materials with higher copper content can help. Lower density parts can be oil impregnated for self-lubrication in use.

What is Iron-Copper & Copper Steel Sintered Metal?
Iron-Copper Sintered Metal:
Iron-Copper sintered metal is a composite material created by combining iron and copper powders through the sintering process. The result is a material with excellent mechanical properties, combining the strength and durability of iron with the conductivity of copper. It is widely used in various applications where these attributes are essential, bearings, bushings, and more.
