The Effect of Graded Structure of Sintered Iron-Manganese Biomaterials on the Range and Distribution of Local Hardness Values

Article Preview

Abstract:

Powders comprised of Fe particles and 25, 30, 35wt.% of Mn particles were mixed, compacted and sintered to investigate the effect of Mn on the properties of sintered Fe-Mn alloys. It was found that the sample’s swelling, microstructure and distribution of local hardness values were strongly affected by the Mn content. The particles in Fe-25Mn and Fe-30Mn samples exhibited a distinct onion-like structure causing a considerable variability in local properties, while the particles in Fe-35Mn samples were at a glance more homogeneous, with a large volume fraction occupied by a nearly uniform material with almost constant properties.
