PSM Industries Pacific Sintered Metals FCC-216-P High Carbon Copper Steel Powdered Metal (MPIF FC-0208-40) Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ### **Product Datasheet: PSM Industries Pacific Sintered Metals FCC-216-P High Carbon Copper Steel Powdered Metal (MPIF FC-0208-40)** #### **1. Product Overview** PSM Industries' **FCC-216-P** is a premium, **double-pressed and double-sintered (2P2S)** high-carbon, iron-copper steel powder metal. Designated under the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) standard as **FC-0208-40**, this material is engineered to achieve **higher and more uniform density** compared to standard single-pressed grades. The double-pressing process results in superior mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy, and enhanced dynamic performance, making it ideal for critical structural components that demand reliability under stress. #### **2. Key Advantages & Characteristics** * **High & Uniform Density:** The 2P2S process minimizes porosity gradients, leading to more consistent properties throughout the part and improved fatigue life. * **Enhanced Strength & Toughness:** Higher density directly translates to increased tensile strength, yield strength, and impact resistance. * **Improved Dimensional Control:** The double-sintering cycle contributes to exceptional dimensional stability and the ability to hold tight tolerances. * **Excellent Wear Resistance:** The combination of higher density and the hardening effect of copper and carbon provides good resistance to surface wear. * **Good Machinability (When Required):** The uniform microstructure allows for predictable machining operations if secondary processing is needed. #### **3. Chemical Composition (Typical, wt.%)** This is a classic and widely used FC-0208 composition, optimized for strength and cost-effectiveness. | Element | Iron (Fe) | Carbon (C) | Copper (Cu) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Content** | Balance | 0.60 - 0.90 | 1.5 - 3.9 | *Note: The copper is alloyed primarily as a solid-solution strengthener and also provides a modest increase in hardenability. The carbon content is key for achieving strength in the as-sintered condition.* #### **4. Physical & Mechanical Properties (As-Sintered, MPIF Standard 40)** Properties are per MPIF Standard 40 for material FC-0208-40, reflecting the benefits of the double-pressed process. The `40` denotes the minimum tensile strength in ksi. * **Minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength:** 400 MPa (58,000 psi) * **Typical Ultimate Tensile Strength:** 415 - 550 MPa (60,000 - 80,000 psi) * **Minimum Yield Strength (0.2% Offset):** 310 MPa (45,000 psi) * **Apparent Hardness:** 70 - 85 HRB * **Minimum Transverse Rupture Strength:** 790 MPa (115,000 psi) * **Density:** **7.0 - 7.3 g/cm³** (This higher density range is a key characteristic of the 2P2S process, compared to ~6.6-6.8 g/cm³ for single-pressed grades) * **Elongation:** 1.0% (in 25 mm / 1 inch) - Typical, ductility remains limited. * **Modulus of Elasticity:** ~140 GPa (20 x 10⁶ psi) - Higher than lower-density grades due to reduced porosity. #### **5. International Standards & Cross-References** * **MPIF Standard Material Designation:** **FC-0208-40** * `FC` = Iron-Copper-Carbon system (diffusible alloy) * `0208` = Nominal 2% Copper, 0.8% Carbon composition. * `40` = Minimum tensile strength in ksi (**40** x 1000 = 40,000 psi; *Note: Commercial grades like FCC-216-P often exceed this minimum significantly*). * **ISO Standard:** **ISO 5755:2012, Grade FLC-4908** is a close functional equivalent. * **ASTM Standard:** **ASTM B783, Type FC-0208** specifies the base composition. * **Japanese Standard (JIS):** Similar to **MFD-08** series materials. * **Proprietary Designation:** **FCC-216-P** (PSM Industries' internal code, where "P" often denotes a premium or specialized process variant). #### **6. Product Applications** FCC-216-P is specified for high-performance applications where standard single-pressed PM parts are insufficient: * **Automotive Transmission & Engine:** Synchronizer hubs, planetary gear carriers, sprockets, balance shaft gears, and oil pump rotors. * **Power Tools & Outdoor Power Equipment:** High-load gears in drills, impact wrenches, transmission gears for lawn mowers and snow blowers. * **Hydraulic & Fluid Power:** Pump gears, vanes, and bodies requiring pressure integrity and wear resistance. * **Industrial Gearing & Drives:** Actuator gears, small precision gearboxes, and drive components in conveyors. * **Locking Systems:** High-security lock components such as gear plates and tumblers. #### **7. Manufacturing & Post-Processing Notes** * **Core Process:** **Double Pressing and Double Sintering (2P2S).** The initial compact is pressed and pre-sintered, then repressed to a higher density before the final high-temperature sintering. * **Secondary Operations:** Can be easily sized, coined, or subjected to light machining. Can be steam-treated for improved corrosion resistance and surface sealing. * **Heat Treatment:** While designed for use in the as-sintered condition, parts can be carburized or through-hardened for maximum surface wear resistance, taking full advantage of the high core density. --- **Disclaimer:** This datasheet provides information based on industry standards and typical product performance.
