Abstract If advanced manufacturing technologies are to be adopted over conventional manufacturing processes in the nuclear industry — the most regulatory challenging industry — rigorous fundamental studies that develop underpinning knowledge, materials performance data, and predictive capabilities are essential. Herein we have employed the use of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and 3D X-ray computed tomography (XCT) to characterize microstructure evolution and porosity consolidation during the early stages of powder metallurgy hot isostatic pressing (PM-HIP). The data herein highlight the mechanisms through which the powder particle size distribution encourages localized plastic deformation and subsequent microstructural recrystallization of Type 316L stainless steel; the effect of powder particle size distribution on the rate of porosity consolidation is also discussed. Specifically, we have determined the temperature and pressure conditions that are required to initiate dynamic recrystallization during HIP, and explain how this is influenced by the powder particle size distribution.

Austenitic stainless steel filters are mostly used when there is an aggressive environment condition, especially when good corrosion and mechanical resistance at relatively high temperature are required. These filters are usually obtained from non-spherical, mostly atomized powders by cold pressing and sintering. In order to achieve an adequate performance concerning permeability, powders with a narrow range of particle size should be used. However, besides particle size distribution, apparent density of the selected powder, which can be adjusted by the particle size, shape and distribution, affects the performance of the final product. Particle size distribution, particle shape and particle surface roughness control apparent density. This work presents some results on the evaluation of such effect.
