What is the GPM Database?

• Database compiled by partners: EPMA – Europe MPIF – North America JPMA – Japan

• Represents properties that can be achieved with good PM processing practice

• All GRANTA MI capabilities supported (Search, Select, Substitute, Compare, Export, etc.)

Demo: what’s in the database?

Case Study

• Automotive transmission application

• Specification: • UTS: 650MPa • Yield: 430MPa • Hardness: 85 HRB • Elongation: 2% • Fatigue: 245MPa • Modulus: 130GPa

• What PM grades are suitable? • How do they compare? • Who can supply the grade I need?

• Powder Metallurgy is a solution to a number of otherwise impossible engineering challenges

• The GPM Database provides mechanical, physical, processing and supplier data for PM and MIM grades

• With GRANTA MI, you can: • Make consistent, informed decisions across your organization • Use simple tools to search, select, substitute and compare • Combine PM data with in-house materials knowledge • Integrate with your CAD and CAE tools
