Conclusions
-
1.
During heating in hydrogen, zinc sulfide may undergo partial decomposition. With rise in temperature and hydrogen humidity, the intensity of the decomposition increases.
-
2.
During the course of sintering of a ZhGr3Tss4 material in hydrogen, the decomposition products of the zinc sulfide react with the iron particle surface and form iron sulfides and a solid solution of these sulfides in zinc sulfide. At a sintering temperature above 975°C, a liquid phase-a sulfide-carbide eutectic-forms in the material and coats the iron particle surface. During sintering under pressure, this phase imparts a characteristic fibrous structure to the material.
-
3.
With decrease in porosity, the sulfur and zinc contents of a sintered ZhGr3Tss4 material increases. Thus, a nonporous material contains twice as much sulfur and six times as much zinc as does a material of 20% porosity.
