Full Description

The MPIF Standard Test Methods publication contains 48 standards covering terminology and recommended methods of test for metal powders, powder metallurgy and injection molded parts, metallic filters, metal additive manufacturing, and powder metallurgy equipment. These standards, intended to present and clarify PM technology as an aid in conducting business, relate to those activities that concern designers, manufacturers, and users of PM parts.

The 2022 edition contains 3 new Standards, Standard 73 (Preparing and Evaluating Tension Test Specimens of Materials Produced from Metal Powders by Binder Jetting (BJT), Material Jetting (MJT), Material Extrusion (MEX) or Similar Metal Additive Manufacturing (Metal AM) Technologies), Standard 74 (Preparing and Evaluating Tension Test Specimens of Materials Produced from Metal Powders by Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB and PBF-EB), Directed Energy Deposition (DED), and Cold Spray or Similar Hybrid Metal Additive Manufacturing (Metal AM) Technologies) and Standard 75 (Determination of Flow Rate of Metal Powders Using the Carney Flowmeter Funnel). Revisions have been made to 20 standards.

Includes:

Standard 01(Sampling Metal Powders) This standard describes two methods for obtaining samples of metal powders for subsequent testing.Standard 02(Determination of Loss of Mass in a Reducing Atmosphere for Metal Powders (Hydrogen Loss)) This standard describes a method for determining the loss of mass of metal powders after heating for a specified time in a reducing atmosphere. This value is commonly referred to as hydrogen loss and approximates the oxygen content of the powder.Standard 03(Determination of Flow Rate of Free-Flowing Metal Powders Using the Hall Apparatus) This standard describes two methods for determining the rate of flow of metal powders. The methods are only suitable for those powders that will flow unaided through the specified Hall flowmeter funnel.Standard 04 (Determination of Apparent Density of Free-Flowing Metal Powders Using the Hall Apparatus) This standard describes a procedure for determining the apparent density of free-flowing metal powders and is suitable for only those powders that will flow unaided through the specified Hall flowmeter funnel.Standard 05 (Determination of Sieve Analysis of Metal Powders) This standard describes a method for determining the dry sieve analysis of granular metal powders.Standard 06 (Determination of Acid Insoluble Matter in Iron and Copper Powders) This standard describes an analytical method for determination of the acid insolubles content of elemental iron and copper metal powders.Standard 09 (Standard Terminology of Powder Metallurgy) This terminology standard includes definitions that are helpful in the interpretation and application of powder metallurgy terms.Standard 10 (Determination of the Tensile Properties of Powder Metallurgy (PM) Materials) This standard describes a method for determining the tensile properties of powder metallurgy materials.Standard 15 (Determination of Green Strength of Compacted Powder Metallurgy (PM) Materials) This method covers the apparatus, test specimens and procedure for determining the green strength of compacted powder metallurgy specimens by subjecting them to a uniformly increasing transverse loading under controlled conditions. The green strength, as used in this standard, is the stress, calculated from the flexure formula, required to break the powder metallurgy compact as a simple beam. The specimen is supported near the ends, and broken by applying the force midway between the fixed center of the supports.Standard 28 (Determination of Apparent Density of Non-Free-Flowing Metal Powders Using the Carney Apparatus) This standard describes a procedure for determining the apparent density of non-free-flowing metal powders. It is designed for those powders that do not flow freely through the Hall flowmeter funnel.Standard 31 (Terms for Metal Powder Compacting Presses and Tooling) This standard defines and illustrates schematically (Figs. 1a and 1b) those segments of a metal powder compacting press and the tooling used therein which are directly involved in forming a powder metallurgy compact.
