Features & Benefits

Base Chemicals Features
Features
  • High compressibility - due to its superior compressibility, Atomet 1001 can be single pressed to 7.2g/cm3 or repressed to densities up to 7.4 g/cm3.
    • Extends the performance levels of P/M parts.
    • Provides enhanced compaction capability.
    • Provides higher strength, higher density P/M parts.
  • Hardenability - the manganese level of Atomet 1001 is precisely controlled to provide optimal heat-treated properties without sacrificing compressibility.
    • Improved hardness and tensile properties.
  • Dimensional change - Atomet 1001 can be used with existing tooling designed for conventional water-atomized powders.
    • No need to retool
  • Consistency - a stable ore base and ultra-modern processing capability, including SPC, assure lot-to-lot consistency.
    • Improved P/M part consistency
  • Purity and cleanliness - state-of-the-art clean steel practices and a proprietary powder manufacturing process produce a powder with exceptionally low levels of residuals and inclusions.
    • Improved mechanical and dynamic properties of powder forged parts.
    • Improved machinability of P/M and P/F parts.
