Some Aspects Of Infiltration Of High Speed Steel Based Composites With Iron Addition

Attempts have been made to describe the influence of the production process parameters and additions of iron powders on properties of copper infiltrated HSS based composites. The powder compositions used to produce skeletons for further infiltration were: M3/2, M3/2+20% Fe and M3/2+50% Fe. The powde...

Description
Summary:Attempts have been made to describe the influence of the production process parameters and additions of iron powders on properties of copper infiltrated HSS based composites. The powder compositions used to produce skeletons for further infiltration were: M3/2, M3/2+20% Fe and M3/2+50% Fe. The powders were cold pressed at 800 MPa. The infiltration process was carried out in vacuum. Both green compacts and preforms sintered for 60 minutes at 1150°C in vacuum were contact infiltrated with copper to yield final densities exceeding 97% of the theoretical value.
