CPMT Releases PM Tooling Materials Design Guide!

The Center for Powder Metallurgy Technology (CPMT) has published a Powder Metallurgy Tooling Materials Design Guide. The guide is designed to assist tool designers and engineers in optimizing the cost and performance of the tool materials they specify for all compaction and sizing tooling. 

Key features include: 

• Recommended materials for touch powder tooling components designed to offer both exceptional toughness and wear resistance.
• Tooling materials specifically adapted for press applications, optimizing cost while ensuring durability.
• Ideal carbide grades for applications demanding high toughness, high wear resistance, or a balanced combination of both.

This guide will equip your team with the knowledge needed to optimize compaction and sizing tooling materials, serving as an essential resource for improving your compaction processes and reducing tooling costs.
