It was found that addition of 4 wt.% of gas-atomized tin (Sn) powder to stainless steel powders could alter sintered properties of P/M stainless steels. For stainless steel series 300 powders, Sn powder addition resulted in improved tensile properties and hardness. It was speculated that the liquid Sn, formed during sintering process, acted as either a sintering activator or a solvent for nickel (Ni) dissolution. Sintering activation existed because the liquid Sn acted as a diffusion path for powder particle constituent atoms. Dissolution of Ni in Sn was simply due to diffusion of Ni atoms from stainless steel series 300 …

Sintering of powder compacts, prepared by admixing of 409L powder with 2-6 wt.% of copper and nickel powders was investigated. It was observed that the strength of the 409L-Cu specimens increased with increasing Cu content. In contrast, sintered density and elongation decreased with increasing Cu content due to swelling effect. When 2 wt.% of Ni powders were added, sintered density and strengths were maximized. When Ni contents higher than 2 wt.% , the decrease of sintered density and strengths were attributed to the number of pores left by the original sites of Ni powder particles.

The presence of non-reactive (Al2O3) and reactive (SiC) hard particles affected properties of sintered Fe-base composites. With the same compacting and sintering conditions, addition of Al2O3 particles caused reduction of sintered densities. Tensile strengths, elongation and hardness of the sintered Fe-Al2O3 materials decreased with increasing Al2O3 particle amounts. The presence of Al2O3 particles prohibited compacting and sintering processes of the Fe powder. In contrast, addition of SiC particles resulted in reaction between Fe and SiC particles. Sintered density of the sintered Fe-SiC composites was significantly lower than that of the sintered Fe-Al2O3 materials. However, tensile strengths and hardness, except elongation, …
