PSM Industries Ferro-TiC® MS-5A Age Hardenable Martensitic Stainless Steel

Ferro-TiC® Steel alloy bonded titanium carbide (TiC) materials are made by advanced powder metallurgy technologies. Unlike tungsten carbide, Ferro-TiC® is bonded by hardenable alloy matrices.Excellent corrosion resistance. Excellent size stability at elevated temperatures. Replaces 27-4 PH Stainless. Slightly magnetic. An FDA approved material.Ferro-TiC® Unique CharacteristicsProvides the lightweight, size, stability, and hardnessVirtually porosity free - significantly better than the A1 ASTM B-276-79 StandardLow specific mass. Ferro-Tic® is 10-20% lighter than its steel counterpart and about 50% lighter than tungsten carbide10 times the wear resistance of tool steelsEconomical fabrication (conventionally machinable in the annealed stage by milling and turning, conventionally heat treatable to achieve high hardness)50-90% less linear size change in heat treat than tool steelsInformation Provided by Ferro-TiC®, a division of PSM Industries
