Abstract
When adopting low-alloy sintered steel components instead of traditional machined steel parts, it is misleading to attempt a direct comparison of the mechanical properties of the two products. Instead it is preferable to consider in each case the service conditions to which the parts are to be subjected and then to devise suitable mechanical tests under simplified loading conditions. The paper describes certain case histories illustrating this point and discusses briefly the definition of low-alloy “sintered steel”.
