Table 3 Typical room temperature tensile properties of representative MIM alloys
(HT = heat treated, HIP = hot isostatically pressed, density is % alloy theoretical density)
Note that data given is only representative of the properties attainable using MIM, since differences in impurity levels, grain size, porosity, and post-sintering heat treatment can have dramatic effects.
