Abstract: It has been studied a steam treatment process in an industrial continuous furnace for sintered iron parts in a temperature range varying from 490 to 570 °C and sample´s sintered densities of 6,52 and 6,77 g / cm3 . The tests have showed oxidation kinetics with two stages, each of them obeying a parabolic law. The first stage was faster than the second. The oxidation time when the oxidation kinetics of the first stage has changed for the second stage showed off very sensitive to the process temperature and sintered densities of the parts which are in agreement with the process rate controlling mechanism that was found to be the iron diffusion through the oxide layer.

Abstract: Impregnating resin into the open pores of a sintered iron compact is well known to improve the machinability of the compact. However, the causes of this phenomenon require further investigation. The purpose of this study is to clarify the main cause of the improvement in machinability on resin impregnation. In this study, sintered iron was machined and the influences of resin impregnation on its thermal properties, coefficient of friction, and flow stress (deformation resistance) were investigated. The results indicate that the great improvement in machinability produced by resin impregnation is mainly due to a reduction in the plastic deformation (fracture strain) for chip generation, lowering the degree of work hardening and consequently reducing the cutting force required.

Abstract: In the work presented here the residual stress states of sintered iron (ASC 100.29) were studied after mechanical surface treatments. This included the investigation of the stability of compressive residual stresses of deep rolled sintered iron at different angles relative to the rolling direction at quasistatic and cyclic bending loading. An increase of the compressive residual stress in the transversal deep rolling direction at fatigue loading was found and will be discussed in this presentation.
