Abstract

A laser beam was used to sinter green compacts of alloy powder. Elemental diffusion occurred during laser sintering, forming refined Fe3C and CuMo2S5−x phases. Laser sintering can produce useful parts of desirable microstructure and good properties which offers advantages over those parts prepared by conventional sintering. A green compact with a diameter of 10 mm can be penetratively sintered within 5 min, showing the prospect for industrial applications.
