Magnetic and Mechanical Properties of Fe-Cr-Si-Mo Alloys by MIM Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In recent years, metal injection molding (MIM) has been adopted as a process for manufacturing a solenoid valve which is a component of an electronic fuel injector, and PB permalloy components have been commercialized. However, Ni, an element of PB permalloy, is expensive material, making it difficult to produce the fuel injector component at a low cost. As a solution to this problem, we studied the magnetic and mechanical properties of Fe-Cr-Si alloys by MIM process. These results revealed that the magnetic and mechanical properties were improved by reducing Cr content. However, reducing Cr content is expected to reduce corrosion resistance of the alloys. In this study, Fe-Cr-Si-Mo alloy specimens containing Mo to improve corrosion resistance are manufactured by MIM process, and we investigated the magnetic and mechanical properties. These results revealed that Fe-10Cr-3Si-2Mo alloy is a material with an excellent balance between magnetic and mechanical properties.
