* Alloys with MIM prefix are also listed in the MPIF Standard 35 (2000 edition) Materials Standard for Metal Injection Molded Parts
** Depending on the type of heat treatment a range of mechanical properties can be obtained in MIM-2200 and MIM-2700, 4140, MIM-4605
Note: Parmatech does not warranty that these materials are fit for any particular application.
All materials need to be tested by the customer to assure that they meet minimum performance criteria.
