Abstract
An unacceptable degree of scatter in the values obtained in tensile tests of sintered parts may occur if their elongation does not exceed a few percent. To ensure the required elongation, the composition of the material selected must correspond to that of alloys made by melting which exhibit a certain minimum elongation in the forged and annealed condition. This minimum is a function of the density of the sintered compact and a knowledge of its value can be of assistance in choosing the correct composition. Values of Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and impact-resistance are also given as a function of density.
