Abstract
Using manganese as alloy element in sintered steels, also in combination with Cr, is an attractive alternative to the more common but expensive alloy additives, especially Ni, Cu and Mo, also in high concentrations. The main peculiarities of Mn that should be considered is its high affinity for oxygen which is slightly higher than that of Cr—and much higher than that of Cu, Ni and Mo. Chapters 2 and 3 refuted in detail concerns regarding the oxidation of manganese in the samples during sintering in the atmosphere which does not meet thermodynamic requirements on the purity of the sintering atmosphere.
