Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a sintered stainless steel excellent in corrosion resistance, by carrying out sintering in a reduced-pressure atmosphere in the presence of Cr vapor at the time of subjecting a stainless steel alloy powder to compacting and sintering. CONSTITUTION:The stainless steel alloy powder prepared by a spraying process is compacted and the resulting green compact is sintered in a reduced-pressure atmosphere in the presence of Cr vapor. By carrying out sintering in the reduced-pressure atmosphere like this, Cr carbides formed on the surface of the stainless steel alloy powder prepared by the spraying process are reduced and, simultaneously, Cr vapor is supplied at the time of sintering so as to prevent the evaporation of Cr from the surface or to vapor-deposit Cr onto the surface. In this way, the sintered stainless steel having superior corrosion resistance practically equal to that of an ingot steel stock having the same composition can be obtained. Moreover, as the means of supplying Cr vapor, it is easy and preferable that a Cr source having a Cr concentration higher than that of the stainless steel alloy powder or having a Cr vapor pressure higher than that of the stainless steel alloy powder is heated simultaneously with sintering.

As a means of supplying chromium vapor, a chromium source with a higher chromium concentration or chromium vapor pressure (higher chromium activity) than stainless steel alloy powder is heated at the same time as sintering in a reduced pressure atmosphere. A method of generating chromium vapor is simple and therefore preferred. Specifically, a powder or plate of chromium or a chromium alloy can be used as the chromium source, and an inexpensive Fe-60% by weight Cjr alloy is preferable as the chromium alloy. Further, when a plate or the like is used, it may be plated with chrome.

The present inventors investigated various causes of deterioration of corrosion resistance of sintered stainless steel, and as a result, in addition to porosity, the following facts were discovered. First, chromium carbide is generated on the surface of the stainless steel alloy powder produced by the spraying method, and this chromium carbide remains in the Primary Par-tic7e Boun even after sintering.
It remains as a dary in the sintered stainless steel and causes intergranular corrosion. It has also been found that the second cause is that chromium evaporates due to sintering under vacuum or reduced pressure, resulting in the densification of the sintered stainless steel surface and the disappearance of the chromium oxide film.
