Research Abstract |
The results of this project are summerized as follows; 1. The apparatus in laboratory scale for plating and the method of producing iron base comosite powders were established. And so, it was able to coat iron particles with nickel, nickel-phosphorus alloy, nickel-boron alloy, and the rest by electroless plating. 2. Sintering behaviors of Fe-Ni, Fe-Ni-P, and Fe-Ni-B compacts prepared with composite powders were studied by means of dilatometric method and electron probe micro analysis. Sinterings of Fe-Ni-P and Fe-Ni-B compacts were enhanced, compared with the case of Fe-Ni compact. The enhanced sinterings in the compacts were mainly took place during heating. The mechanisms of the enhanced sintering were discussed. 3. Mechanical properties of sintered Fe-Ni-P and Fe-Ni-B alloys prepared with composite powders were studied. Sintered Fe-Ni-P alloys from composite powders showed higher tensile strength and larger elongation than those of sintered alloys from mixed powders. Sintered Fe-Ni-B alloys prepared from composite powders showed equivalent tensile strength and larger elongation, compared with sintered Fe-Ni alloys from composite powders. The microstructure of sintered Fe-Ni-P alloys showed a composite structure consisted of two regions. However, sintered Fe-Ni-B alloys showed homogeneous Fe-Ni-B alloyed structure dispersed spherical pores. It was proposed that the good mechanical properties of sintered alloys from composite powders were attributed to those microstructures.
