| Abstract: | Canadian-based QMP Metal Powders will be promoting a high-strength diffusion-bonded molybdenum steel powder at PM2003 in Valencia later this month. ATOMET DB49 is a newly developed grade that allows the manufacture of PM parts with a tensile strength of more than 850MPa using normal sintering conditions in belt furnaces equipped with a rapid cooling zone. The company will also be exhibiting their own polymeric HGS lubricating system that, they say, “drastically enhances the strength of green parts to the point where they can withstand the stresses applied by cutting tools during machining. QMP will also be showing off a new sponge-type iron powder, ATOMET 24, for high green strength applications that can be used to facilitate the production of more complex parts.This is a short news story only.
