ASP 2000 Steel

The ASP^® process is a powder metallurgical technique, comprising hot isostatic pressing of rapidly solidified gas atomised powder. A material of homogeneous distribution of the components of the steel is obtained. During gas atomization, the melt is disintegrated by powerful jets of nitrogen gas into small droplets. The powder is collected in a steel capsule which is subsequently evacuated and welded.

After hot isostatic pressing of the ASP-powder the microstructure of this material is fully homogeneous and the mechanical properties are isotropic. Bars, wire rods, strip and sheets are obtained after forging and rolling.
