Conclusions
-
1.
It has been established that, under both laboratory and industrial conditions, parts from iron-base powders can be successfully sintered in a protective medium consisting of molten AN-ShT1 and AN-ShT2 synthetic slags, whose high fluidity enables treated parts to be quenched direct from a slag bath.
-
2.
The feasibility has been demonstrated in principle of combining the operations of sintering and electrolytic boronizing of parts from iron-base powders in molten synthetic borate slag electrolytes.
