Key parameters for low temperature warm compaction of high density iron-based P/M materials

摘要

In order to reduce powder temperature to lower than 100℃ in warm compaction by changing polymer lubricant design, powder flowability, warm compacting behavior, lubricating mode as well as ultimate tensile strength after sinter-hardening and tempering were investigated systematically. By means of low temperature warm pressing and sintered hardening technique, samples with the sintered densities of 7.407.45g/cm3 and the strengths of 950 1390MPa are achieved as the early compacting pressure is 686735MPa.
