Effect of Compaction Pressure on Mechanical Properties of Powder Steel 0.06% C – 22% Cr – 13% Ni – 5% Mn – 2% Mo Obtained by Mechanical Alloying Followed by Annealing

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The mechanical properties of a powder steel containing 0.06% C, 22% Cr, 13% Ni, 5% Mn and 2% Mo (UNS S20910) and manufactured by mechanical alloying with subsequent annealing are studied. The changes in the structure during the mechanical alloying and the annealing are determined by the methods of x-ray diffractometry, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with an attachment for energy dispersive analysis. The modes of compaction and sintering providing optimum mechanical properties in the steel are presented.
