Mechanical minima by form
Guaranteed values differ by form, size and delivery condition; quotations confirm the specification, form, size and condition.
| Form | Condition | Rm MPa | Rp0.2 MPa | A ≥ % | Other requirements and notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sintered blanks and parts (accepted on sintered test bars) | Class 2 (nominal W 92.5 %) | ≥ 758 (110 ksi) | ≥ 517 (75 ksi) | ≥ 5 | Also specified: Hardness ≤ 33 HRC Density 17.15–17.85 g/cm³. The hardness cap applies to as-sintered or annealed material; worked or strain-aged material can reach 49 HRC. B777 has four classes (90, 92.5, 95 and 97 % W) and no 93 % class; the two closest to 93W are listed. |
| Sintered blanks and parts (accepted on sintered test bars) | Class 3 (nominal W 95 %) | ≥ 724 (105 ksi) | ≥ 517 (75 ksi) | ≥ 3 | Also specified: Hardness ≤ 34 HRC Density 17.75–18.35 g/cm³. The hardness cap applies to as-sintered or annealed material; worked or strain-aged material can reach 49 HRC. B777 has four classes (90, 92.5, 95 and 97 % W) and no 93 % class; the two closest to 93W are listed. |
