Development of Contact Surface During Sintering of Powder Steels

Abstract

Sintered parts obtained using traditional and new raw materials are widely used in the industry. The latter include partially alloyed powders. Sintering is one of the most important and complex technological operations in alloy production. The product properties depend on the correct choice of the sintering parameters. The paper discusses the growth patterns of the contact surface during sintering of powder steels, and also defines the criteria for the development of high-quality bonding depending on the sintering process conditions.
