Resumen El acero pulvimetalúrgico HCx ha sido desarrollado para combinar la resistencia a corrosión de los aceros inoxidables con la resistencia al desgaste de los aceros de herramientas. Aparece así como un material adecuado para componentes sometidos a desgaste en un ambiente agresivo, como los asientos de válvulas en motores de automóviles. En este trabajo se estudia la dilución del HCx con dos aceros inoxidables, uno ferrítico (430) y otro austenítico (316L), en porcentajes hasta 15 % en masa, para mejorar las condiciones de procesado, especialmente la compresibilidad. La sinterabilidad de los materiales diluidos se ha estudiado mediante sinterización en vacío, a temperaturas entre 1.200 °C y 1.260 °C, y se han determinado las propiedades de los materiales sinterizados. Los resultados se discuten en relación a la evolución microestructural. Palabras clave Pulvimetalurgia. Dilución. Aceros inoxidables. Desgaste. Carburos.
HCx powder metallurgy steel contains in its composition high contents of Cr and C, and significant quantities of alloy elements typical of tool steels (Mo, V, W), to provide the corrosion resistance of stainless steel with wear resistance of tool steels. HCx appears to be a suitable material for applications in aggressive environments, as valve seat inserts in automotive engines. However, this steel presents a low compressibility leading to high production costs. In this work, some results carried out to improve the compressibility of HCx are presented. The way to attempt this improvement is the dilution of base material with two stainless steels, the ferritic 430LHC and the austenitic 316L. The powder mixes prepared were uniaxially pressed to study the compressibility. The sinterability was study by determining of density, hardness, transverse rupture strength (TRS) and microstructural evolution after vacuum sintering at different temperatures. As a result, better compressibility is observed in the mixes although not all of them present the properties required
