Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
MTDATA computer predictions of multi component phase equilibria will be used to design new stainless steel compositions which are capable of being sintered to near full density with existing industrial PM methods and at temperatures used in continuous mesh belt or pusher furnaces. Sintering studies carried out on selected alloy compositions will study the effectiveness of enhanced liquid phase sintering and of super solidus liquid phase sintering as a means of obtaining high density at low sintering temperature. Alloys that meet these sintering targets will be assessed for their mechanical properties and corrosion behaviour with the intention of improving upon the performance of existing standard PM stainless steels. The roles of porosity and its unambiguous effect on corrosion will be assessed so that maximum values of total porosity, interconnected porosity ,porosity, and pore size needed to meet the required property levels can be specified.
