“…Parameters such as temperature and pressure, particle size and shape, particle distribution, powder composition and grades have a great influence on the powder metallurgy processing and properties of the stainless steel (Zhoungchun, Takenobu, Keisuke & Tadasu, 2000;Sulima, Klimczyk & Hyjek, 2009;Campos, Bautista, Caceres, Abenojar & Torralba, 2003). The premixes of other existing stainless steels to form another type of stainless steel are also studied by Datta & Upadhyaya (2001). doi: 10.15174.au.2014.505 There is a great demand for a new material to be used in engineering applications.…”
