| Summary: | Sintered Iron-Carbon-Copper parts are among the most widely used powder
metallurgy product in automobile. In this paper, studies have been carried
out to find out the sintering characteristics of iron-carbon-copper compacts
when sintered in nitrogen atmosphere. The effects of various processing
parameters on the sintering characteristics were studied. The various
processing parameters considered were compaction pressure, green density and
sintering temperature. The sintering characteristics determined were sintered
density, porosity, dimensional change, micro hardness and radial crush
strength. The results obtained have been discussed on the basis of micro
structural observations. The characteristics of SEM fractography were also
used to determine the mechanism of fracture. The fracture energy is strongly
dependent on density of the compact. |
