The Effect of the Sintering Temperature and Addition of Niobium and Vanadium on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Microalloyed PM Steels

Abstract: In this work, the effect of the sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Nb-V added powder metallurgy (PM) steels was investigated. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the Nb-V added PM microalloyed steel were examined by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), optical emission spectrometer (OES), tensile and hardness tests. Results indicated that the optimal sintering temperature was 1350 • C and the addition of … Show more

“…3 (next page) reveal precipitates of different sizes. Erden [5] had investigated the precipitates behavior in low carbon microalloyed steel containing V and Nb. The results showed that both VC(N) and NbC(N) precipitate in the austenite, forming VNbC(N) precipitates when Nb-V is added to the steel.…”

“…The reduction in grain size also contributed to the% elongation of the material. In addition, the precipitates formed contributed to the increase of yield and tensile strength by different strength increasing mechanisms such as precipitation hardening, dispersion hardening and clustering hardening [5]. The increase in sintering time improves the% elongation values representing the formability.…”

“…As a matter of fact, there are studies supporting this result in the literature. For example, Erden [5] investigated the effect of sintering temperature on Nb-V microalloyed steel. In this study, the increase in sintering temperature contributes to the resistance up to a certain temperature, while the temperature decreases to 1400°C.…”
