Analysis of Powder Metallurgy Process Parameters for Relative Density of Low Carbon Alloy Steel Using Design of Experiments Tool

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main aim of present research paper is to analyze the influence of compaction load and sintering temperature on relative density of low carbon alloy steel. The alloy steel powder has been compacted at different loads and sintering at different temperatures. The compaction of alloy steel has been done with a circular die of 20 mm internal diameter and 100 mm height at different load and sintering temperature. With the application of hydrostatic stress, the pores will be removed and relative density will increase. So, relative density value will increase simultaneously. This experimental study presents how relative density can be improved by using Powder Metallurgy route. The results are further analyzed with the help of Analysis of Variance using Design of Experiments Tool.
