Effect of boron addition on mechanical properties of Fe-Ni-Mo-B-C sintered alloys

Sintered materials are superior in productivity because of their simple process, but their mechanical properties are low. To improve the mechanical properties of sintered materials, we focus on liquid-phase sintering. In this study, we selected boron as sintering aids and evaluated on the effect of...

Effect of boron addition on mechanical properties of Fe-Ni-Mo-B-C sintered alloys
description Sintered materials are superior in productivity because of their simple process, but their mechanical properties are low. To improve the mechanical properties of sintered materials, we focus on liquid-phase sintering. In this study, we selected boron as sintering aids and evaluated on the effect of the addition quantity of boron (0-0.6 mass%) to the mechanical properties of liquid-phase sintered and heat-treated materials. In the test range of this study, the tensile strength of material with an additional quantity of boron of 0.1 mass% showed the highest value, 1386 MPa, which is about 35% higher compared to the tensile strength of material without adding boron. On the other hand, materials with an additional quantity of boron of 0.2 mass% or higher showed higher-density than material with an additional quantity of boron of 0.1 mass%, but both their elongation and tensile strength were significantly decreased. The precipitates changed between the boundary of the quantity of boron added of 0.1 and that of 0.2 mass%. Only Fe23B6 was formed in the material with the boron addition amount of 0.1 mass% or less, and Fe23B6 and Fe2B were formed in the material with the boron addition amount of 0.2 mass% or more.
