This research presents the effects of temperature and cooling rate on mechanical properties of powder injection molded 316L Stainless steel. Steel powder and binder were mixed together to produce the feedstock. The green samples were produced by injection molding and debinded. Brown test samples were sintered in vacuum at 1325°C, 1360°C and 1380°C for 2h with two heating and cooling rates 5°C/min and 10°C/ min. The test samples sintered at 1325°C achieved maximum sintered density. The higher cooling rate improved the strength of the sintered test samples. The maximum sintered density of 96% and tensile strength of 503MPa was achieved and these results are comparable to the wrought 316L stainless steel (according to ASTM standard).

Powder injection molding (PIM) process was applied to Fe-based metamorphic alloy powders, and microstructure, hardness, and wear resistance of the PIM products were analyzed and compared with those of conventional PIM stainless steel products. When Fe-based metamorphic powders were injection-molded and then sintered at 1200 oC, completely densified products with almost no pores were obtained. They contained 34 vol.% of (Cr,Fe)2B borides dispersed in the austenitic matrix without amorphous phases. Since these (Cr,Fe)2B borides were very hard and thermally stable, hardness, and wear resistance of the PIM products of Fe-based metamorphic powders were twice as high as those of conventional PIM stainless steel products. Such property improvement suggested new applicability of the PIM products of Fe-based metamorphic powders to structures and parts requiring excellent mechanical properties.
