“…[1], 2 vol pct carbides, TiC, NbC, WC, and Cr 3 C 2 , were mixed into SKD11 powder, and their effects on sintered density, microstructure, and hardness were examined. The mixture of SKD11 and carbide powder, without graphite additions, was compacted and then sintered at 1523 K (1250°C), which is higher than the upper limit of the sintering window of SKD11+0.25 wt pct carbon.…”
