AMETEK offers a range of wear resistant tool steel powders used in Powder Metallurgy (P/M), Metal Injection Molding
MIM, and
metal additive manufacturing. Tool steels use a combination of C, Cr, Mo, V, and W in a Fe based alloy to generate a carbide microstructure in the metal alloy.
Tool Steel Grades
We offer a comprehensive portfolio of tool steel grades in the M, D, and T series, optimized for exceptional properties.
- Premium T-15 Grade: Achieves hardness levels near 70 HRC with proper processing and heat treatment.
- Other available grades: M-2, M3-2, M3-5, M4-2, D-2
Tool Steel Powders for Powder Metallurgy
Powder Metallurgy (P/M) tool steels offer the highest grade of performance, especially in respect to toughness. This is due to the extremely fine and uniform distribution of carbides resulting from the atomization process.
Customization and Post-Processing
Our tool steel powders are available with or without post-processing to enhance performance characteristics, depending on the end-use application. Whether you need increased density, specific particle sizing, or enhanced material properties, we can customize our offerings to suit your requirements.
