Influence of iron nanopowder addition on the densification of chromium-prealloyed water-atomised powder metallurgy steel admixed with nickel
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2023

High sintered density is desired for heavy-duty applications and there are different ways through which the sintered density can be improved. In the current study, nanopowder is blended to the conventionally used micrometre-sized water-atomised steel powder to evaluate its impact on sintering. Both the powder variants, without and with nanopowder, were subjected to thermogravimetry analysis, and uniaxially compacted to the same green density of 7.15 g/cc or 90% relative density and sintered at 1250°C in pure hydrogen. A comparative analysis was performed with respect to the microstructural evolution between the micro and micro/nano bimodal powder compacts. JMatPro and electron backscattered diffraction was used to understand the microstructural evolution. An attempt was made to understand the improved linear shrinkage in the micro/nano bimodal powder compact using a combination of microstructure analysis and chemical analysis.
