This specification covers stainless steel powder metallurgy (PM) structural components with minimum densities that are fabricated from prealloyed powder consisting primarily of iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and boron2 and are intended for use in corrosive service. Structural components shall be made by cold pressing and sintering prealloyed powder. The chemical composition; physical properties such as density; and mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation and hardness; are detailed.

1.1 This specification covers stainless steel powder metallurgy (PM) structural components with a 7.7-g/cm³ minimum density that are fabricated from prealloyed powder consisting primarily of iron, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and boron and are intended for use in corrosive service.

1.2 With the exception of density values, for which g/cm3 is the industry standard, the values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The SI values given in parentheses are converted in accordance with IEEE/ASTM SI 10 and are for information only.
