MPIF Designation Code |
Characteristics |
|
| Iron & Carbon Steel |
F-0008 |
Can be used with or without graphite. Use primarily for moderate strength and hardness |
|
| Iron Copper/Copper Steel |
FC-0208 |
The added copper offers wear resistance properties and is excellent for heat treating applications. |
|
| Iron Nickel/Nickel Steel |
FN-0208 |
This material offers toughness, tensile properties, and hardenability. Typically a heat treatable material. |
|
| Prealloyed Steel (Low-Alloy Steel) |
FL-4405 |
Good hardenability, consistency in heat treatment. |
|
| Hybrid Low-Alloy Steel |
FLN-4405 |
Best heat treated strength, impact energy |
|
| Sinter-Hardened Steel |
FLC-4608 |
Hardenable in the sintering process. Typically used where high strength and wear resistance are required. |
|
| Diffusion-Alloyed Steel |
FD-0405 |
Typically used in medium to high strength structural products. These materials may be heat treated to increase strength and wear resistance. |
|
| Copper Infiltrated Iron & Steel |
FX-2008 |
This material provides an improved tensile strength, elongation, hardness and impact properties. |
|
