This standard provides the design and materials engineer with the latest engineering property data and information available in order to specify materials for structural parts made by the powder metallurgy (P/M) process.

Developed by the P/M commercial parts manufacturing industry, each section of the standard is clearly distinguished by easy-to-read data tables and explanatory information for each material listed. The standard covers 11 material systems of the P/M industry:

- Iron & Carbon Steel
- Iron-Copper & Copper Steel
- Iron-Nickel & Nickel Steel
- Low Alloy Steel
- Sinter Hardened Steel
- Diffusion Alloyed Steel
- Copper Infiltrated Iron & Steel
- Stainless Steels - 300 & 400 Series Alloy
- Copper & Copper Alloys
- Soft Magnetic Alloys

In addition, the standard provides information and data for:

- Axial Fatigue-New!
- Rolling Contact Fatigue-New!
- Machinability
- Hardenability
- Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) – New!
- Fracture Toughness – New!
- Corrosion Resistance

Detailed explanatory notes and definitions, along with data cited in both English convention and SI units, help to make the standard "user friendly". This standard is a "must have" document for every engineering professional.
