Abstract
Powder characteristics and manufacturing processes determine the microstructure, and therefore, the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of sintered steels. In particular, porosity and corrosion resistance are intimately related, since the contact area between substrate and electrolyte significantly affects the corrosion resistance of sintered steels. This study addresses the effect of powder characteristics and pressing parameters on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of lowβcarbon sintered and sintered/plasmaβnitrocarburized steel. The results indicated that the corrosion resistance increased with increasing density and decreasing specific surface area. Additionally, plasmaβnitrocarburizing was highly effective in coating open pores of the material.
