An Overview of Enhanced Sintering Treatments for Iron

  • Chapter

  • 508 Accesses

Abstract

The fundamental sintering behavior of iron is examined to determine possible success in enhancing the rate or improving the properties. Within this scope, both liquid phase and activated sintering treatments are considered. Various additions are discussed in terms of diffusivity and phase diagram data. Small concentrations of additions like B, C, N and P are identified as candidate additives for enhanced sintering when combined with various refractory or transition metals.
