Abstract

Porous AISI 304L stainless steels were fabricated by a new powder metallurgy technique, based on the addition of oxide based ceramic powders. The mixture of AISI 304L stainless steel powders and oxide based ceramic powders was compacted using a hand press at a pressure of 294 or 490 MPa. The green compacts were sintered at 1150 or 1200°C for 3 h in Ar gas atmosphere. The addition of oxide based ceramic powders into AISI 304L stainless steel powders gave rise to porous AISI 304L stainless steels with fine pores. Also, the addition of the ceramic powders increased the hardness.  相似文献

Abstract

Metal matrix composites, based on 316L stainless steel and reinforced with TiC and TiCN particles, were manufactured following a powder injection moulding route: mixing, preparation of feedstock, moulding, debinding and sintering. The 316L stainless steel and carbide powders were dry mixed and moulded with wax based binder. The critical powder loading for injection moulding was 62·5 vol.-% for all samples. Binder debinding was performed by solvent and thermal method. After debinding, the samples were sintered at 1250 and 1385°C for 1 h in pure H2. Metallographic studies were conducted to extend densification and the corresponding microstructural changes. The sintered samples were characterised by measuring tensile strength, hardness and wear behaviour. Wear loss was determined for all samples after wear tests. All powder, fracture surfaces of moulded and sintered samples, and worn surfaces of all the samples, were examined using scanning electron microscope. The sintered density of injection moulded 316L stainless steel samples, reinforced and unreinforced, increases with increasing sintering temperature. The addition of TiC and TiCN improves the hardness and wear resistance with increasing sintering temperature.  相似文献

The present study investigates the effect of yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) addition on the densification, mechanical, tribological and corrosion behaviour of ferritic (434L) stainless steels. The composites were sintered at both solid-state (1200 °C) and supersolidus (1400 °C) sintering conditions. Supersolidus sintering results in superior densification, hardness and corrosion resistance of both straight 434L stainless steel as well as YAG reinforced 434L stainless steels. The addition of YAG to 434L stainless steels at supersolidus sintered conditions improves the strength and wear resistance of 434L stainless steels without significantly degrading the corrosion performance.  相似文献

Abstract

Rail life is controlled by the balance between wear and fatigue damage due to in service loading. To model and optimise rail life, knowledge of the fatigue crack initiation mechanism is required. This paper reports the effect of in service loading on microstructural changes in the subsurface layer of pearlitic rail steels and observations of early stage (10–50 μm length) fatigue crack formation. Micro and nanohardness measurements are reported, along with microstructural observations, showing differential work hardening in the proeutectoid ferrite and pearlite phases. It is proposed that the differential straining results in ductility exhaustion in the proeutectoid ferrite and therefore fatigue crack initiation and initial growth in the proeutectoid ferrite phase. Observations of short (<50 μm) cracks in rails taken out of service containing significant amounts of proeutectoid ferrite (≈20%) confirm the proposed mechanism.  相似文献

Abstract

Using a Gleeble 1500 hot simulator, the effects of hot deformation parameters and accelerated cooling conditions on the microstructural characteristics of low carbon microalloyed steels were investigated by means of compression tests. It was found that the grain refinement effect of single pass reduction in the recrystallisation or unrecrystallisation temperature ranges is weaker than that of two pass reduction in the recrystallisation and unrecrystallisation temperature ranges. However, four pass deformation in the recrystallisation and unrecrystallisation temperature ranges could result in rather fine grained microstructures and, when coupled with moderately high cooling rate, partially acicular ferrite microstructure could be obtained. With the increase of cooling rate, the microstructure becomes finer and the content of acicular ferrite increases. Under similar deformation and cooling conditions, the specimens with relatively high carbon content have more refined microstructures.  相似文献

Abstract

The cyclic stress–strain behaviour of two microalloyed steels with different microstructures has been characterised at room temperature under strain controlled low cycle fatigue. The cyclic stress–strain curve in the double logarithmic plot shows a linear relation for both steels. A transition of the cyclic stress–strain curve from softening to hardening with increasing strain amplitude has been observed with respect to the corresponding tensile curve. The strain amplitude for the onset of cyclic softening to hardening transition has been found to be dependent on grain size. The strain lifetime behaviour, estimated from modified universal slopes equation, shows similar trends as Nb or V bearing microalloyed steels. The cyclic characteristics of the two microalloyed steels have been compared with corresponding predeformed state carried out under stress controlled conditions. While, cyclic saturation was observed in case where the extent of predeformation was within the Lüders strain, cyclic softening occurred when it exceeded the Lüders strain. It has been attempted to provide a mechanistic understanding of the differences in the cyclic behaviour of the two steels owing to the microstructure and predeformation.  相似文献

The present work investigates the effect of second phase dispersoid addition and sintering temperature on the corrosion behavior of austenitic (316L) stainless steels. Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) was added as second phase to the austenitic stainless steels in varying amounts (1, 2.5 and 7.5 wt.%), and the compacts were sintered at 1200 and 1400 °C corresponding to solid-state and supersolidus sintering, respectively. The sintered samples were characterized for their corrosion resistance in 0.1N H2SO4 using potentiodynamic polarization. It is shown that YAG addition does not appreciably increase corrosion rate of 316L compacts. However, as compared to solid-state sintering, supersolidus sintering resulted in superior corrosion resistance. The electrochemical behavior of the 316L–YAG composites with sintering temperature is correlated to the densification response and microstructure.  相似文献

Low alloy steels produced through powder metallurgy route of sintering followed by forging are promising candidate materials for high strength small components. Porosity in such steels poses a real challenge during acid pickling treatment, which is one of the processing steps during manufacturing. The present research work attempts to investigate the mechanism underlying the acid corrosion behaviour of some sintered low alloy steels under induced acid pickling conditions. Sintered-forged low alloy steel samples containing molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu) and titanium (Ti) were subjected to aqueous corrosion attack by immersing the samples in 18% HCl (Hydrochloric acid) solution for 25 h. Sample weight loss and Fe (Iron) loss were estimated for the corroded samples. The morphology of the corroded surfaces was studied through metallography and scanning electron microscopy. Higher porosity alloys underwent enhanced corrosion rates. Both corrosion rate and iron loss are found to decrease linearly with reduction in porosity in all cases of the alloys. The alloying elements Mo, Ti and Cu, when added in combination, have played a complementary role in the reduction of corrosion rate by almost one order of magnitude compared to unalloyed steel. Presence of carbides of the carbide forming elements Mo and Ti played a positive role on the corrosion behaviour of the low alloy steels.  相似文献

Abstract

The present paper investigates completely reversed room temperature low cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviour of solution annealed austenitic stainless steel AISI 316L with two different grain sizes of 90 and 139 μm developed by solution annealing treatment at 1050 and 1150°C respectively and at six strain amplitudes ranging between ± 0·375 and ± 1·00%. Complete cyclic hardening has been observed for both the grain sizes. While fine grained steel shows an improvement in cyclic life compared with that of coarse grained steel for strain amplitudes ± 0·375 and ± 0·50%, and perfectly follows the Coffin–Manson (C–M) behaviour within the experimental domain, higher cyclic life with bilinear C–M behaviour is observed in the case of coarse grained steel at ± 0·625% strain amplitude and above. Optical microscopy of fatigue fracture surfaces reveals the formation of martensite on cyclic straining predominantly at higher strain amplitudes.  相似文献

Abstract

Iron aluminides were prepared by a powder metallurgy process from elemental powders, mixtures of prealloyed and elemental powders, and prealloyed powder. The sintering behaviour of various powders was studied using scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, and density measurement. It was found that sintering of elemental powder involved two distinct processes, i.e. alloying and densification, but sintering of prealloyed powder involved densification alone. The addition of prealloyed powder to elemental powders was helpful in restraining the swelling of sintered samples, the degree of swelling of sintered samples being reduced as the amount of prealloyed powder increased. For samples made from Fe-25 at.-%Al prealloyed powder, remarkable shrinkage was measured after sintering at 1250°C for 1 h. Within the correct range, their density increased with sintering temperature and time, but prolonged sintering at high temperature resulted in the loss of aluminium and a two phase microstructure. The difference in sintering behaviour between the various powders was discussed on the basis of thermodynamics.  相似文献

Abstract

Degradation of AISI 410 martensitic stainless steel, a typical alloy for many applications such as steam turbine blade, could impair its efficiency and lifetime. To overcome this problem, critical surfaces could be modified by weld cladding via gas tungsten arc welding technique. In the present research, a comparative study of Stellite 21 weld overlays deposited in three different thicknesses, i.e. dilutions, at various preheat and post-weld heat treatment temperatures on the surface of AISI 410 martensitic stainless steel, has been made. The surface of coatings has been examined to reveal their microstructures, phase characterisation and mechanical properties using XRD, microhardness tester and metallographic techniques. The results showed that the deposition of Stellite 21 coating on AISI 410 martensitic stainless steel improved its corrosion resistance. Moreover, the volumetric dilution had a considerable effect on the hardness, microstructure and electrochemical corrosion behaviour of Stellite 21 weld overlays.  相似文献

Powder-metal-processed bearings and gears are finding increasing application because of their economical and technical advantages. The residual pores from the sintering operatives act as lubricant pockets and dampen sound and vibration. However, porosity also decreases the mechanical strength and reduces the life of components fabricated by powder processing relative to similar wrought components. The rolling contact fatigue behavior of sintered and heat treated steel rollers was investigated using a fatigue test machine designed and fabricated for that purpose. The powder-metal-processed and the wrought steel rollers that were tested had similar composition and hardness and were mated against wrought steel rollers of high hardness. The contact stress versus number of cycles to failure data showed that the wrought steel had a very high endurance limit under rolling contact fatigue compared to the sintered steels investigated. Rolling contact fatigue behavior was found to depend on the porosity present in the material. Large surface peeling failures and pitting type fatigue failures were observed in the sintered and hardened steels, while only pitting type failures were observed in the wrought steels  相似文献

Abstract

Stainless steel matrix composites were manufactured using powder metallurgy techniques. Matrixes of AISI 316L stainless steel were reinforced with yttria or alumina particles. Chromium diboride was added in some cases and boron nitride in others to obtain steels with densities close to theoretical, using reactive (liquid phase) sintering techniques. The composites showed very good densification and better hardness than the 316L stainless steel without additions. The 316L steel reinforced with 4 wt-% yttria chromium diboride showed the highest density and strength, with an acceptable corrosion resistance.  相似文献

A micrometric austenitic stainless steel 316L powder was densified by spark plasma sintering. The process parameters were varied over wide ranges and the impact of such variations on sintered materials was studied through the characterization of their microstructures, densities, hardness and corrosion resistance. For comparison with the properties of traditionally cast 316L, all these investigations were also systematically carried out on as cast samples. The sintered stainless steel produced this way was highly densified, with grains of a micrometric size and the forming process did not induce any residual strain gradients as shown by transmission electronic microscopy analysis. The investigation of the corresponding mechanical properties reveals an enhancement of hardness up to twice the value measured on one sample of as cast 316L. This result is in good agreement with the Hall–Petch formalism. Additionally, in the matter of corrosion behavior, fully dense samples display an enhanced passive state in chloride media compared to as cast material. Spark plasma sintering appears to be an interesting alternative elaboration way of ultrafine 316L stainless steel giving materials with high stress resistance, without strain gradients through the volume, and promising functional properties concerning corrosion behavior.  相似文献

Abstract

Instrumented impact testing has been used to investigate the influence of the microstructure of the heat affected zone (HAZ) on the impact fracture behaviour of ASTM A105/AISI 304L friction weldments. The friction layer in the HAZ has been found to consist of two different parts. In the A105 side, a mechanically mixed layer made of bainite containing 304L 'protrusions' is present. The hardness of the bainite was found to increase as the friction pressure was decreased. In the 304L side, the friction layer was made of a thick shear band, formed by thermoplastic instability during welding. The impact fracture toughness was found to depend on both the crack nucleation and propagation stages, whose characteristics were related to the dynamic fracture toughness of the friction layers.  相似文献

The flat bending fatigue strength of a variety of carbon-free iron base sintered materials has been investigated varying density, sintering temperature and particularly the morphology of the base powder. All effects that lead to round pores improve the fatigue performance.The porosity of sintered iron and steel is characterised by a large majority of tiny spherical pores and a few big pores of high irregularity. It is this small fraction of large and irregular pores with their pronounced internal stress concentration which determines the fatigue strength of sintered porous materials, next to overall density and alloying effects.  相似文献

The powder metallurgy process is ideally suited to the mass production of structural parts of complicated shape and with tight tolerances without appreciable loss of material. Because of its unique attributes such as reducing weight and production cost, powder metallurgy has made very significant in roads as a substitution technology in automotive parts, such as cams and gears in this process, we can improve the mechanical properties such as fatigue resistance of PM materials by changing of manufacturing parameters, for example, density, sintering temperature, sintering time, etc. In this research, the fatigue behaviour of sintered steel (Fe-1.5 Mo-3 Mn-0.7 C) was investigated with varying of density and sintering temperature. The results showed that in this steel, increase of porosity plays an important role in the fatigue limit of specimens also with sintering at high temperature which results in more spherical pores, the fatigue strength was improved. In this research, SEM fractography was also used to determine the mechanism of fatigue fracture.  相似文献

Abstract

This paper provides data on the effect of carbon and phosphorus levels on the density of liquid phase sintered steel and the impact of subsequent carbon removal on the mechanical properties. After sintering die pressed samples composed of liquid forming additives and coarse water atomised powder at 1250°C or below, followed by postsintering decarburisation, densities of >95% relative density and non-brittle microstructures are achieved. Tensile testing shows the important effect of the microstructure on the mechanical properties. Ductility is improved by the post-sintering decarburisation, corresponding to elongation to fracture of 12% for certain compositions. Apparent diffusion coefficients for carbon were also estimated.  相似文献

The influence of carbon content in the range of 0.01–0.3 wt.% on microstructure, hardness and tensile property of sintered Fe-Cr-Mo steels was investigated. The sintered Fe–3.0 wt.%Cr–0.5 wt.%Mo–(0.1, 0.2, 0.3) wt.% C steels were prepared by using powder metallurgical process. After sintering, the specimens were rapidly cooled by nitrogen at the rate of 5.4 °C/s. It was found that in the sintered steels with a lower carbon content of 0.01 and 0.1 wt.%, the allotriomorphic ferrite and Widmanstӓtten ferrite formed at austenite grain boundaries and grew to occupy the whole prior austenite grains. With higher carbon contents of 0.2 and 0.3 wt.%, the microstructures consist of bainite, martensite and some retained austenite. These steels exhibited increases of hardness, tensile strength and elongation at break with increasing carbon content. Increase of strength is due to the transformations from austenite, formed during sintering, to hard bainite and martensite structures.  相似文献
