    Investigation of conventional-and induction-sintered iron and iron-based powder metal compacts
    (Minerals, Metals and Materials Society, 2014) ÇAvdar U.; Atik E.
    Induction sintering was developed as an alternative method to conventional sintering to sinter iron-based powder metal (PM) compacts. Several compositions of compact such as pure iron, 3 wt.% copper mixed iron, or 3 wt.% bronze mixed iron were sintered by using induction sintering machines with 12 kW power and 30 kHz frequency. The mechanical properties, microstructural properties, densities, and microhardness values were investigated for both processes. Iron-based PM compacts sintered at 1120 °C by induction in 8.33 min (500 s) were found to be similar to those sintered conventionally in 30 min. The results were compared with the experimental studies. © 2014 The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
