1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the requirements for the chemical composition
and the mechanical and physical properties of sintered-metal injection-moulded materials.
It is intended to provide design and materials engineers with necessary information
for specifying materials in components manufactured by means of the Metal Injection
Moulding (MIM) process only.
It does not apply to structural parts manufactured by other powder metallurgy routes,
such as press-and-sinter or powder-forging technologies.
