Product Overview **PSM Industries FCC-216-P(HT)** is a premium heat-treated powder metal component manufactured through double pressing and double sintering (2P2S) technology. Designated under MPIF standard **FC-0208-50HT**, this material represents a high-performance variant of the classic FC-0208 composition, distinguished by its superior mechanical properties achieved through controlled thermal processing. The heat treatment transforms the as-sintered microstructure to deliver enhanced strength characteristics while maintaining the dimensional advantages of powder metallurgy manufacturing. ## 2. Key Advantages & Characteristics - **Optimized Strength-Ductility Balance**: Post-sintering heat treatment provides an optimal combination of high strength and controlled toughness - **Improved Fatigue Performance**: Enhanced microstructure contributes to better resistance against cyclic loading failures - **Exceptional Dimensional Stability**: 2P2S process coupled with controlled heat treatment minimizes dimensional variation - **Superior Wear Characteristics**: Increased surface hardness and modified microstructure provide enhanced abrasion resistance - **Consistent Batch-to-Batch Performance**: Controlled thermal processing ensures uniform mechanical properties across production lots - **Cost-Effective High-Performance Solution**: Achieves properties approaching wrought steel at powder metallurgy economics ## 3. Chemical Composition (Typical, wt.%) | Element | Iron (Fe) | Carbon (C) | Copper (Cu) | Other Elements | |---------|-----------|------------|-------------|----------------| | Content | Balance | 0.60-0.90 | 1.5-3.9 | ≤ 1.0 (including lubricants and processing aids) | *Note: The copper content enhances hardenability and strength through solid solution strengthening.
