5 Test methods for normative properties
5.1 General
The following test methods shall be used to determine the normative properties given in Tables 1 to 18.
5.2 Chemical analysis
The chemical composition table for each material lists the principal elements by minimum and
maximum mass percentage before any additional process, such as oil impregnation, resin impregnation
or steam treatment, has taken place. “Other elements” may include minor amounts of elements added
for specific purposes and is reported as a maximum percentage.
Whenever possible, and always in cases of dispute, the methods of chemical analysis shall be those
specified in the relevant International Standards. If no International Standard is available, the method
may be agreed upon and specified at the time of enquiry and order.
Samples for the determination of total carbon content shall be prepared in accordance with ISO 7625.
Determination of the total carbon content can be in accordance with ISO 437.
5.3 Open porosity
The open porosity shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2738.
5.4 Mechanical properties
5.4.1 General
The as-sintered mechanical properties given in Tables 1 to 18 were determined on pressed and sintered
test pieces with a mean chemical composition. The heat-treated mechanical properties given in Tables 1
ISO 5755:2022(E)
to 18 were determined on test bars which were either pressed and sintered or machined from pressed
and sintered blanks. They are intended as a guide to the initial selection of materials . When selecting
powder metallurgical (PM) materials, it should be taken into account that the properties depend not
only on the chemical composition and density, but also on the production methods. The properties of
sintered materials giving satisfactory service in particular applications may not necessarily be the same
as those of wrought or cast materials that might otherwise be used. Therefore, liaison with prospective
suppliers is recommended They may also be used as a basis for specifying any special tests that may be
indicated on the drawing.
The mechanical properties shall neither be calculated from hardness values nor be determined on
tensile test pieces taken from a component and used for verifying the values given in Tables 1 to 18.
If the customer requires that a specified level of mechanical properties be obtained by tests on the
component, these shall be agreed with the supplier and shall be stated on the drawing and/or any
technical documentation of the customer referred to on the drawing.
5.4.2 Tensile properties
The ultimate tensile strength and the yield strength shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2740
and ISO 6892-1. For heat-treated materials, tensile strength and yield strength are approximately equal
and, in this case, tensile strength is specified.
The normative yield strengths (as-sintered condition) and ultimate tensile strengths (heat-treated
condition) are shown as minimum values. These strengths may be used in designing PM part
applications. To select a material which is optimum in both properties and cost-effectiveness, it is
essential that the part application be discussed with the PM parts manufacturer.
The minimum values were developed from tensile specimens prepared specifically for evaluating PM
materials.
Tensile specimens machined from commercial parts may differ from those obtained from prepared
tensile specimens. To evaluate the part strength, it is recommended that static or dynamic proof-testing
be agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer and carried out on the first production lot of
parts. The results of testing to failure can be used statistically to determine a minimum breaking force
for future production lots.
Acceptable strength can also be demonstrated by processing tensile specimens prepared specifically
for evaluating PM materials manufactured from the same batch of powder as the production parts and
processed with them.
As indicated above, the testing of test bars machined from the PM component is the least desirable
method for demonstrating minimum properties.
For heat-treated properties, the test bars were quench-hardened and tempered to increase the strength,
hardness and wear resistance. Tempering is essential to develop the properties given in this document.
Heat-treat equipment that utilizes a gas atmosphere or vacuum is recommended. The use of liquid salts
is not recommended due to entrapment of the salts in the porosity causing “salt bleed-out” and “internal
corrosion”. Some materials may be heat-treated directly after the sintering process by controlling the
cooling rate within the sintering furnace. This process is usually known as “sinter hardening”. Materials
processed by this route also require tempering to develop their optimum strengths.
5.4.3 Radial crushing strength
The radial crushing strength shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2739. The wall thicknesses of
test pieces to be used shall be in the range covered by ISO 2795. For test pieces outside this range, the
specified radial crushing strength values are different and shall be agreed between the customer and
the supplier.
ISO 5755:2022(E)
6 Test methods for informative properties
6.1 General
Typical values are given for each material; these include tensile and yield strengths. These typical
values are given for general guidance only. They should not be used as minimum values.
These typical properties should be achievable through normal manufacturing processing. Again,
any specific tests on components should be discussed and agreed between the purchaser and the
manufacturer.
6.2 Density
The density shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2738. Density is normally determined after the
removal of any oils or non-metallic materials from the porosity and is known as the “dry density”. The
“wet density” is sometimes reported on production bearings or parts, this is the mass per unit volume,
including any oil or non-metallic material that has impregnated the component.
6.3 Tensile strength
The tensile strength shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2740 and ISO 6892-1.
6.4 Tensile yield strength
The tensile yield strength shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2740 and ISO 6892-1.
6.5 Elongation
Elongation (plastic) shall be determined in accordance with ISO 6892-1. It is expressed as a percentage
of the original gauge length (usually 25 mm), and is determined by on measuring the increase in gauge
length after the fracture, providing the fracture takes place within the gauge length. Elongation can
also be measured with a break-away extensometer on a tensile specimen. The recorded stress/strain
curve displays total elongation (elastic and plastic). The elastic strain shall be subtracted from the
total elongation to give the plastic elongation (this can sometimes be provided with the test machine’s
software).
6.6 Young’s modulus
Young’s modulus shall be determined in accordance with ASTM E1875. Data for the elastic constants in
this document were generated from resonant frequency testing. Formula (1) relates the three elastic
constants:
vE=()/2G −1 (1)
where
v is Poisson’s ratio;
E is Young’s modulus;
G is the shear modulus.
6.7 Poisson’s ratio
Poisson’s ratio shall be determined in accordance with ASTM E1875.
ISO 5755:2022(E)
6.8 Impact energy
The impact energy shall be determined in accordance with ISO 5754. The data in this document were
obtained using an unnotched Charpy specimen.
6.9 Compressive yield strength
The compressive yield strength shall be determined in accordance with ISO 14317. For certain heat-
treated materials listed in the tables, the hardenability is not sufficient to completely through-harden
the 9,00 mm diameter test specimen. Due to variation in hardenability among the heat-treated steels
listed in the tables, the compressive yield strength data are appropriate only for 9,00 mm sections.
Typically, smaller cross-sections have higher compressive yield strengths and larger sections have
somewhat lower strengths due to the hardenability response. Since the cross-section of the tensile
yield test specimen is smaller than the compressive yield specimen, a direct correspondence between
tensile and compressive yield strength data are not possible.
6.10 Transverse rupture strength
The transverse rupture strength shall be determined in accordance with ISO 3325.
The strength formula in ISO 3325 is strictly valid only for non-ductile materials; nevertheless, it is
widely used for materials that bend at fracture and is useful for establishing comparative strengths.
Data for such materials are included as typical properties in ISO 3325.
6.11 Fatigue strength
6.11.1 General
The number of cycles survived should be stated with each strength listed.
For PM ferrous materials, like wrought ferrous materials, fatigue strengths of 10 cycles in duration
using unnotched specimens are considered to be sustainable indefinitely and are therefore considered
to be fatigue limits (also termed endurance limits). By contrast, non-ferrous PM materials do not have
10 cycle maximum fatigue strengths sustainable for indefinite times and these stress limits therefore
simply remain as the fatigue strength at 10 cycles.
The fatigue limits in this document were generated through statistical analysis of the test data. Due to
the limited number of data points available for the analysis, these fatigue strengths were determined as
the 90 % survival stress, i.e. the fatigue stress at which 90 % of the test specimens survived 10 cycles.
There are three methods of stressing the test specimens and each gives different fatigue strengths.
These are described in 6.11.2 to 6.11.4.
6.11.2 Rotating bending fatigue strength
This test method uses a machined, round, smooth test specimen (in accordance with ISO 3928), with
an R. R. Moore testing machine. Testing shall be in accordance with ISO 1143. The specimen is held
at one end and rotated while it is stressed at the other end. The surface of the test bar is the most
highly stressed area and the centre line has a neutral stress. This test method gives the highest fatigue
strength.
6.11.3 Plane-bending fatigue strength
This method used for plane-bending fatigue uses a standard sintered fatigue test bar (in accordance
with ISO 3928) that is subjected to an alternating stress. This test method gives a slightly lower fatigue
strength than the rotating bending fatigue test, as more of the cross-sectional area is subjected to the
stress. Evaluation of fatigue strength is done according to the staircase method described in MPIF
Standard 56.
ISO 5755:2022(E)
6.11.4 Axial fatigue strength
This method uses either a machined, round or standard sintered fatigue test bar (in accordance
with ISO 3928) that is tested in a test machine by clamping both ends and subjecting the test bar to
alternating stresses where R = −1. Testing shall be conducted in accordance with ISO 1099. As the whole
of the cross-section is stressed, this test method gives the lowest fatigue strength.
6.12 Apparent hardness
The apparent hardness shall be determined in accordance with ISO 4498. The hardness value of a
PM part when using a conventional indentation hardness tester is referred to as “apparent hardness”
because it represents a combination of matrix hardness plus the effect of porosity. Apparent hardness
measures the resistance to indentation.
Because of possible density variations in a finished PM part, the location of critical apparent hardness
measurements should be specified on the engineering drawing of the part. As surface pore closure can
affect the apparent hardness, the surface condition should also be specified.
6.13 Coefficient of linear expansion
The coefficient of linear expansion shall be determined in accordance with ASTM E228.
7 Specifications
The chemical composition and mechanical properties are given in Tables 1 to 18.
The liquid lubricant content of materials for bearings, impregnated with liquid lubricant, shall be not
less than 90 % of the measured open porosity.
8 Designations
Designations shall be in accordance with Annex A.
