scope:

This Standard specifies the requirements for the chemical composition, mechanical and physical properties of sintered metal materials (hereafter referred to as materials) used for bearings and structural parts.

NOTE 1 When selecting materials, it should be taken into account that the properties depend not only on the chemical composition and density, but also on the production methods. The properties of sintered materials giving satisfactory service in particular applications may not necessarily be the same as those of wrought or cast materials that might otherwise be used. Therefore, selecting materials should be as agreed between the purchaser and manufacturer.

NOTE 2 The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 5755: 2012 Sintered metal materials-Specifications (MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/lEC Guide 21-1.
