Iron Nickel & Nickel Steel Powder Metal Materials

Line

We offer the production of Iron Nickel and Nickel Steel Powdered Metal Parts.  Our Iron-nickel material is a designation given to products with 1-4% Nickel composition in the absence of carbon. In parallel, our Nickel Steel variant, enriched with carbon, extends beyond, creating tough components with a  balance of strength, wear resistance, and impact resilience. The non-diffusing nature of nickel powders during sintering cycles gives rise to small needle-like microstructures of martensite or bainite around the edges of the nickel particles, contributing to the durability of the component.

Our Iron Nickel and Nickel Steel parts find applications across diverse industries, from automotive to industrial applications. Offering an exceptional combination of strength, wear resistance, and impact properties, these materials have become important in heat-treatable structural applications.

 

What is Iron Nickel & Nickel Steel Sintered Metal?

Line

Iron Nickel:

Iron-nickel, an identified product with a 1-4% Nickel composition when devoid of carbon, combines a unique set of characteristics. At Atlas Pressed Metals, we leverage the intrinsic properties of iron-nickel to produce parts that exhibit strength, enhanced fatigue strength and durability. The absence of carbon in this composition contributes to the formation of small needle-like microstructures of martensite or bainite around the edges of the nickel particles during sintering cycles.

Key Features:

  • Nickel Composition: 1-4%

  • Microstructure: Needle-like martensite or bainite

  • Properties: Superior strength and wear resistance

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.
