Effects of Sintering Conditions on Properties of a Warm Compacted Stainless Steel Powder

Article Preview

Abstract:

Effects of Sintering atmosphere and temperature on properties of warm compacted 410L stainless steel powder were studied. Sintered density, hardness, tensile strength and elongation were measured. Results showed that in order to achieve high comprehensive properties, the optimal sintering temperature was 1230°C for 410L stainless steel powder. At the same sintering temperature, density and hardness sintered in vacuum were much higher than that sintered in cracked ammonia while tensile strength sintered in cracked ammonia were much higher than that in vacuum. When sintered in vacuum at 1230°C, sintered density was 7.45 g•cm-3, hardness was 65 HRB, tensile strength was 410 MPa and elongation was 29.5%. When sintered in cracked ammonia atmosphere at 1230°C, sintered density was 7.26 g•cm-3, hardness was 97 HRB, tensile strength was 515 MPa and elongation was 3.8%.
