Effects of C and Nb on Pore-Grain Boundary Separation Behavior during Sintering of 420 Stainless Steel

This study investigated the evolution of density, grain size, and pore characteristics during the sintering of metal injection molding (MIM) 420, 420 + 0.3C and pre-alloyed 420Nb stainless steel powders. The results show that C promotes the reduction of oxides on the surface of stainless steel, ther...
