PSM Industries Pacific Sintered Metals F-244-S High Carbon Steel Powdered Metal (MPIF F-0008-35) Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ### **Product Datasheet: PSM Industries Pacific Sintered Metals F-244-S High Carbon Steel Powdered Metal (MPIF F-0008-35)** **1. Product Overview** PSM Industries' F-244-S is a high-carbon, iron-copper-carbon steel material produced via the Powder Metallurgy (PM) process. Designated under the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) standard as **F-0008-35**, this material is engineered to achieve a high strength-to-weight ratio and good wear resistance in the as-sintered condition. It is a cost-effective solution for structural components requiring higher strength and hardness than low-carbon PM steels, without the need for secondary heat treatment. PSM Industries specializes in manufacturing high-quality, net-shape or near-net-shape parts from this material. **2. Key Advantages & Characteristics** * **High Strength & Hardness:** Provides superior mechanical properties in the as-sintered state compared to lower carbon PM steels like FN-0205. * **Good Wear Resistance:** The combined effect of carbon and copper enhances resistance to abrasive wear. * **Cost-Effective Manufacturing:** The PM process minimizes material waste, reduces machining needs, and allows for high-volume production of complex geometries. * **Dimensional Consistency:** Capable of holding tight tolerances directly out of the sintering furnace. * **Controlled Density:** Offers a balance of strength and ductility at a standardized density level. **3. Chemical Composition (Typical, wt.%)** The composition is tailored for sinter hardening and strength development. | Element | Iron (Fe) | Carbon (C) | Copper (Cu) | Other (Lubricants, etc.) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Content** | Balance | 0.60 - 0.90 | 1.0 - 3.0 | ≤ 1.0 | *Note: The copper acts as a solid-solution strengthener and slightly increases hardenability during cooling from the sintering temperature.* **4. Physical & Mechanical Properties (As-Sintered, MPIF Standard 35)** Properties are per MPIF Standard 35 for material F-0008-35. Actual values may vary based on part geometry and sintering parameters. * **Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength:** 415 MPa (60,000 psi) * **Minimum Yield Strength (0.2% Offset):** 275 MPa (40,000 psi) * **Apparent Hardness:** 65 HRB (Typical range: 65-85 HRB) * **Transverse Rupture Strength:** 830 MPa (120,000 psi) minimum * **Density:** 6.6 - 6.8 g/cm³ (Typical) * **Elongation:** 1.0% minimum (in 25 mm / 1 inch) * **Modulus of Elasticity:** ~120 GPa (17.5 x 10⁶ psi) – varies with density. **5. International Standards & Cross-References** The primary defining standard for this material is the MPIF system. It has equivalents in other global standards. * **MPIF Standard Material Designation:** **F-0008-35** * `F` = Iron-Copper-Carbon system * `0008` = Specific material code within the F-class * `35` = Minimum tensile strength in ksi (35 x 1000 = 35,000 psi; note: the actual minimum is higher at 60,000 psi for this specific grade, reflecting common commercial performance exceeding the base standard). * **ISO Standard (Similar):** **ISO 5755: 2012, Grade SC 100.80** (Fe-2Cu-0.8C) is a close equivalent. * **ASTM Standard (Similar):** **ASTM B783, Type FC-0208** represents a similar iron-copper-carbon composition. **6. Product Applications** F-244-S is widely used across industries for durable, complex-shaped components: * **Automotive:** Synchronizer hubs, sensor rings, pump gears, sprockets, camshaft sprockets, and transmission components. * **Power Tools & Hardware:** Gears, pinions, levers, and housings for drills, saws, and garden equipment. * **Appliances:** Gears, cams, and structural parts in washing machines, lawn mowers, and HVAC systems. * **Industrial Machinery:** Actuator components, drive gears, bushings, and brackets. * **Locking Mechanisms:** High-strength lock components and internal gears. **7. Manufacturing & Post-Processing Notes** * **Primary Process:** Uniaxial pressing followed by sintering in a controlled atmosphere furnace. * **Secondary Operations:** Can be repressed (sized) for improved tolerances, machined, tumbled, or steam-treated for enhanced corrosion resistance and surface sealing. * **Heat Treatment:** While designed for use in the as-sintered condition, parts can be carburized or through-hardened for extreme wear applications, though this is less common. --- **Disclaimer:** This datasheet provides general information based on industry standards and typical product data.
