This International Standard is applicable to all sintered metals and alloys, excluding hardmetals.
This International Standard specifies:
- the die cavity dimensions used for making tensile test pieces by pressing and sintering, and by Metal
Injection Moulding (MIM) and sintering;
- the dimensions of tensile test pieces machined from sintered and powder forged materials.
