PSM Industries Pacific Sintered Metals FCC-214-S(HT) High Carbon Copper Steel Powdered Metal (MPIF FC-0208-80HT) Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ### **Product Datasheet: PSM Industries Pacific Sintered Metals FCC-214-S(HT) Heat-Treated High Carbon Copper Steel Powdered Metal (MPIF FC-0208-80HT)** #### **1. Product Overview** PSM Industries' **FCC-214-S(HT)** is a high-strength, heat-treated variant of the premium FC-0208 powder metal composition. Designated under the MPIF standard as **FC-0208-80HT**, this material undergoes a controlled quench and temper process after sintering, transforming its microstructure to achieve exceptional mechanical properties. The designation **"80HT"** signifies a minimum tensile strength of 80 ksi (550 MPa) in the heat-treated condition, placing it among the highest-performance standard PM steel grades. It is engineered for the most demanding applications where extreme strength, high hardness, and superior wear resistance are critical. #### **2. Key Advantages & Characteristics** * **Exceptional Strength & Hardness:** The heat treatment delivers a dramatic increase in tensile and yield strength, along with high core hardness (typically Rockwell C scale), far exceeding the capabilities of as-sintered grades. * **Superior Wear & Abrasion Resistance:** The hardened martensitic/tempered martensitic microstructure provides outstanding resistance to surface wear, galling, and contact fatigue. * **High Load-Bearing Capacity:** Capable of withstanding extreme static and dynamic loads, making it suitable for critical structural components. * **Enhanced Fatigue Performance:** Improved resistance to failure under cyclic loading conditions compared to as-sintered states. * **Optimized Performance-Cost Ratio:** Achieves mechanical properties comparable to many wrought and machined steels, but with the design flexibility and cost efficiency of powder metallurgy. #### **3. Chemical Composition (Typical, wt.%)** The base composition is the robust FC-0208 blend, specifically formulated to respond effectively to heat treatment. | Element | Iron (Fe) | Carbon (C) | Copper (Cu) | Other (Lubricants, etc.) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Content** | Balance | 0.60 - 0.90 | 1.5 - 3.9 | ≤ 1.0 | *Note: The combined effect of carbon (for hardenability and carbide formation) and copper (which enhances hardenability and provides solid-solution strengthening) creates an ideal matrix for responding to quenching and tempering, resulting in a uniform, high-strength microstructure.* #### **4. Physical & Mechanical Properties (Heat-Treated, MPIF Standard 80HT)** Properties are per MPIF Standard for the heat-treated condition of material FC-0208. The `80HT` suffix denotes the high-strength, heat-treated status. Actual values depend on the specific heat treatment parameters. * **Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength:** **550 MPa (80,000 psi)** * **Minimum Yield Strength (0.2% Offset):** **520 MPa (75,000 psi)** *[Typical based on standard]* * **Core Hardness:** **30 - 50 HRC** (Typical range, dependent on tempering temperature). This is a fundamental shift from the Rockwell B scale of as-sintered parts. * **Minimum Transverse Rupture Strength:** **1240 MPa (180,000 psi)** * **Density:** 6.6 - 6.9 g/cm³ (Typical for single-pressed parts) * **Elongation:** **< 1%** (Typical; heat treatment increases strength at the expense of ductility) * **Modulus of Elasticity:** ~120-140 GPa * **Fatigue Strength:** Significantly improved over as-sintered grades, suitable for highly stressed dynamic components. #### **5. International Standards & Cross-References** * **MPIF Standard Material Designation:** **FC-0208-80HT** * `FC` = Iron-Copper-Carbon alloy system. * `0208` = Nominal 2% Copper, 0.8% Carbon composition. * `80` = **Minimum tensile strength in ksi (80 x 1000 = 80,000 psi)**. * `HT` = **Heat-Treated** condition per MPIF standard. * **ISO Standard (Base Material):** **ISO 5755:2012, Grade FLC-4908**. The heat-treated condition is a separate process specification. * **ASTM Standard (Similar):** **ASTM B783, Type FC-0208** defines the composition. Heat treatment is an additional requirement. * **Proprietary Designation:** **FCC-214-S(HT)** (PSM Industries' internal code for the heat-treated version of FCC-214-S). #### **6. Product Applications** FCC-214-S(HT) is specified for the most severe service conditions across multiple industries: * **Automotive Powertrain:** High-stress transmission gears (planetary, shift), synchronizer hubs, sprockets, and heavy-duty engine components. * **Heavy-Duty Off-Highway & Agriculture:** Final drive gears, track system components, pivot bushings, and hydraulic pump parts in excavators, tractors, and harvesters. * **Industrial Gearboxes & Drives:** High-torque pinions, drive gears, and splined shafts in reducers, conveyors, and manufacturing equipment. * **Power Tools & Lawn Equipment:** Critical, high-wear planetary gear sets in professional-grade impact wrenches, drill chucks, and transmission components in commercial mowers. * **Fluid Power:** Gears and rotors in high-pressure hydraulic pumps and motors. #### **7. Manufacturing & Processing Notes** * **Primary Process:** Conventional pressing and sintering to form the "green" and then "brown" part. * **Critical Secondary Process:** **Precision Heat Treatment.** This typically involves: 1. **Re-austenitizing:** Heating in a controlled atmosphere to achieve a uniform austenitic structure. 2. **Quenching:** Rapid cooling (usually in oil) to transform austenite to martensite, creating high hardness. 3. **Tempering:** Reheating to a specific temperature (e.g., 150-350°C) to relieve internal stresses, improve toughness, and achieve the final desired hardness and strength balance. * **Finishing Operations:** Due to potential dimensional changes during heat treatment, parts often require sizing, grinding, or honing to achieve final tolerances. Steam treatment or plating can be applied for corrosion resistance. --- **Disclaimer:** This datasheet provides general information based on MPIF standards and typical industry performance for FC-0208-80HT material. The final mechanical properties and dimensional characteristics are highly dependent on the specific heat treatment cycle (temperature, time, quenchant) and part geometry/density.
