Development of Stainless Steel (SS316L) Foam with Different Composition Using Compaction Method

Abstract:

Powder metallurgy stainless steels are retains unique benefits in preparation of porous metals due to its low cost, better wear, precise size control and corrosion resistance which are significant quality displays. In this study, the fabrication of open cellular stainless steel (SS316L) foams by using a crystalline sugar via compaction method was investigated. In this work, we show a promising method of SS316L preparation with crystalline sugar as space holder particles. Then, the foams will be given to consider the properties of SS316L foam after sintering process. Powder metallurgy process needs to go through the mixing, pressing, sintering and analysis. The selected composition of SS316L was 50 wt % and 55 wt % SS316L while the remaining percentages are foaming agent or binder. Then, sintering process was conducted in the tube furnace. The SS316L foams were characterised using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Energy Diffraction X-ray (EDX). The results of this study indicate that, the XRD was detected Austenite stainless steel. Then, the detected elements in the SS316L foam were O, K, Mn, Cr, Fe, Mo and Al.
