Ancorsteel 737 SH is a water atomized, prealloyed steel powder specifically developed for heat treatment by either the sinter-hardening process or conventional quenching and tempering. The primary characteristics center on excellent hardenability in conjunction with good compressibility, particularly at higher compaction pressures. This unique combination of attributes differentiates its performance and optimizes both static and dynamic strength. Low sintered growth, resulting in higher sintered densities, along with stable dimensional response are major hallmarks which enhance suitability for a wide range of demanding applications. In some instances, the exceptional hardenability provides a means of sinter-hardening without requiring accelerated cooling equipment or high percentages of admixed additions.
