Before you commit

Measured, not estimated.

Every product ships with its characterization report, referenced to the specification it was built against. Where a value is not measured, it is not published.

Where a published grade does not fit the requirement, a paid evaluation puts your specification through the same measurement stack.

What you get
01

Sinter-active

98.05% of theoretical density at 1550 °C, pressureless, in air, with no sintering additive and no pressure assistance. Full density, fewer degrees.

03

Measured on the sintered body

Vickers hardness 14.20 GPa, fracture toughness 3.89 MPa·m¹ᐟ², dynamic elastic modulus 361.76 GPa, all on specimens pressureless-sintered at 1550 °C. Validated to ASTM C20, C1327 and C1322.

02

Submicron precision

D10 0.49 µm (490 nm), D50 1.34 µm, D90 3.20 µm. A narrow, submicron distribution optimised for pressureless sintering.
