Influence of dispersed microadditives on the structure and properties of powder carbon and high-chromium steels

Аннотация

The influence of dispersed different nature microadditives on structure formation and volume changes during sintering, and strength of powder carbon and high-chromium steel is investigated. Mechanisms of the effect of additives on the formation of their structure are described. It is shown that the introduction of sodium bicarbonate provides the largest strengthening of carbon steel, while the introduction of boron nitride provides that of high-chromium steel. The level of increasing the strength depends on the sintering temperature and amount of additive.
