The purpose of this study is to produce Fe-2Cu-2Ni-0.7Mo-XC steels by means of the powder metallurgy at different sintering temperatures. The mechanical properties of sintered steels have recently reached a level equivalent to that of steels produced by other processes. The static and dynamic mechanical properties of parts made of sintered steel depend on density and microstructure. Many process parameters such as initial composition, alloying elements, atmosphere, time, sintering temperature, and nitrocarburizing influence the microstructure of steel parts. The compacts' preparation involves powder mixing, cold pressing at 500 MPa, and sintering at 1250 C within the H 2 atmosphere for 2 hours and 25 min. The influence of sintering temperature on both hardness and microstructure of the steel is investigated. In this study, sintered Fe-2Cu-2Ni-0.7Mo-XC-type steels are developed. The impact of nitrocarburizing on this structure is evaluated. Microscopy, SEM, and destructive testing are used for characterization of the sintered steels.
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.
