(Specification)Standard Specification for Powder Metallurgy (P/M) Boron Stainless Steel Structural Components
Standard Specification for Powder Metallurgy (P/M) Boron Stainless Steel Structural Components
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers stainless steel powder metallurgy (P/M) structural components with a 7.8-g/cm minimum density, which are fabricated from prealloyed powder consisting primarily of iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and boron and are intended for use in corrosive service.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The SI values given in parentheses are for information only.
