Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A corrosion resistant alloy steel powder and a method of making final products from the same are provided. The alloy powder is modification of 300 series stainless steels and includes increased amounts of silicon and phosphorus. The alloy powder is useful in making fully dense, corrosion resistant products using powder metallurgy techniques.

Description

BACRGROr]ND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides 2 corrosion resistant alloy steel powder and a method of ?roducing final products usinq the same. More specifically, the alloy powder is a modiication of a type 300 series stainless steel, with lncreased percentages of silicon and phosphorus. The alloy powder is useful for ~roducing fully dense metal products b~
powder metallurgy techniques.
Type 300 series stainless steels are common stainless steels used in numerous industrial applications. In attempting to make fully dense products 'rom the atomized powder of the alloys of this type of stainless steel using powder metallurgy techniques, it is known that powder alloys o~ the-typical compositions of ihe alloy series, i.e.
type 304 and type 316, are difficult to sinter to full density.
It is believed that the difriculty in sintering is due to the narrow difference between the solidus and liquidus temperatures of these alloys. This difference is approx-imately 10F (5C). Accordingly, the width o~ the liquid phase sintering range of such an alloy would be so narrow that it would be economically impractical to control the sintering temperature accura ely enough ln a com~ercial production operation.
Accordingly, it is necessary to increase the difference between the liquidus and solidus tempe-2tures ln order that liquid phase sintering can be commercially ?erLormed.

It is an object of the present invention to produce an alloy steel useful ln forming fully dense, corrosion resistant products by powder metallurgy techniques.

SU~iMARY OF THE INV~:NTION
The present in~ention pro~ides a high alloy steel powder useful in Eorming fully dense, corrosion resistan~
products by powder metallurgy techni~ues. A method of producing final products from the steel powder is also provided.
In the method of producing the alloy powder of the present invention, the typical composition of the type 300 series stainless steel is changed to provide addi~ional silicon and phosphorus to result in a final composition, by weight, of chromium o about 16-19%, molybdenum about 0-4~, silicon about 1.7-3~ and phosphorus about 0.04-0.24~. The difference between the solidus and liquidus temperatures is increased to greater than 25F ~14C) by the addition of the silicon and phosphorus, and sintering can be commercially performed within the temperature range. The additional silicon is usually added in a prP-alloy operation prior to atomization of the molten alloy to form a powder. ~he phosphorus can be added in the pre-alloy operation, but can also be added in an ad-mix operation. In such an ad-mix operation, the phosphorus is added in powder form to the alloy powder, usually in the form of fe~~o--phosphorus powder.

DETAIL~D DESCRIPTION
The production of a fully dense, corrosion resistant product is seen in the following examples:

Molybdenum A~out 2.5 Manganese About 1.3 Silicon About 3 Phosphorus About 0.08 Carbon About O.C8~
Iron Essentially balance ~ The powdered metal was blended with about 1~ by weight Acrawax ~Trademark) for die lubrication purposes. Any similar lubricant may also be used. The sample was compacted in a die at 50 TSI (7047 Ks/cm2), the lubricant was removed in a burn off process and then the compacted sample was vacuum sintered at 2~20F (1327C) or 90 minutes. A final product of over 97~ theoretical density, ultimate tensile strength of 100,000 lb/in2 (1047 Xg/cm2), yield st ength of ~9,000 lb/in2 (3452 Kg/cm2), elongation of 10~ and unnotched impact strength of 32 ft-lb (43 joules) was produced. In addition, the corrosion rate of the final product was a . 1 inch per year (0.25 cm/year). The corrosion ~est was performed according to practice B of AST.`5 A 262. The product was also found to be rust free in a 5~ salt fog environment according to ASTM B 117-63.
If desired, the final products can be water quenched to improve corrosion resisiance, ductility, toughness and other ' aa~ ~u~

propexties. In the above example, the final product ~hen water quenched from a solution treatment temperature of 2100~ (lliOC) has an elongation of 40% and an unnotched impact strength of greater than 120 ft-lb (163 joules). The corrosion rate of the final product was 0.04 in/yr (1 mm/yr) in boiling sulfuric acid according to practice B of ASTM A ~62.
Other samples of similar composition were successfully sintered at temperatures between 2i80-24600F (130i-1350C).
