Basic research and new manufacturing methods have led to high nitrogen steels (HNS), a
promising new group of materials for use in advanced applications in mechanical and …

A steel based on D2 tool steel without primary carbides (designated as D2 matrix steel) has
been produced by several PM densification routes. Its toughness has been tested together …

Tool steels are inherently hard and difficult to machine, thus, net shape manufacturing by
MIM is a viable option for manufacturing to promote cost savings. In this chapter an …

Water atomised high vanadium M35M high speed steel powders with different carbon
contents were cold compacted at 700 MPa and sintered under an N2 rich atmosphere. Full …

The experimental powder M42HVIG is used to illustrate how the adequate selection of the
constituent phases involved in the calculation of multicomponent phase diagrams is a key …

Water atomized T42 high speed steel powders have been processed by a powder
metallurgy (PM) route in order to obtain a fully dense material suitable for valve seat inserts …

Sintering is a process by which particulate materials–loose or compacted–are transformed
into a body that may be fully dense or may still contain pores, but in any case has structural …

The resistance to abrasive wear can be effectively raised by hard particles embedded in a
metal matrix. Powder metallurgy allows to admix larger particles than those precipitated from …

The sintering behaviour of high carbon–high vanadium water atomised M35MHV HSS (1· 8
wt-% C, 4· 2 wt-% V) is analysed as a function of the nitrogen pressure in the sintering …
