We use the Fe-Cu-C sintered material as a representative material of powder metallurgy (PM). Cu and C which are additive elements of the Fe-Cu-C sintered material contribute to the improvement of mechanical strength and Cu additionally has a role of volumetric control. Graphite powder is used for C, which is diffused into Fe during sintering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
