The thermal conductivity of a 304L stainless steel powder metallurgy (P/M) material was experimentally determined to support research aimed at understanding the poor machining characteristics of P/M austenitic stainless steels. Thermal conductivity measurements were made on samples having relative densities ranging between 64 and 90 percent of theoretical density since workpieces requiring machining are often fabricated in that density range. The measurements were also made over a temperature range of 50 to 300°C since workpiece temperatures can attain levels this high during the machining operation. The thermal conductivity was measured using an apparatus having a design based on the comparative method. The experimentally determined thermal conductivities were modeled by mathematical models found in the technical literature and modified for the present study. The thermal conductivity of this material increases with increasing relative density and temperature; it is also dependent on the matrix structure for a given porosity.

AbstractLaser deposits fabricated from two different compositions of 304L stainless steel powder were characterized to determine the nature of the solidification and solid state transformations. One of the goals of this work was to determine to what extent novel microstructures consisting of single-phase austenite could be achieved with the thermal conditions of the LENS process. Although ferrite-free deposits were not obtained, structures with very low ferrite content were achieved. It appeared that, with slight changes in alloy composition, this goal could be met via two different solidification and transformation mechanisms.

Bahan pengikat pengacuan yang terdiri daripada polietilina glikol (PEG) dan polimetil metakrilate (PMMA) telah dihasilkan untuk proses pengacuan suntikan logam. Penyediaan bahan suapan adalah secara kaedah basah di mana PMMA adalah dalam bentuk emulsi dengan saiz serbuk antara 0.1 µm hingga 0.2 µm. Oleh itu, untuk menghindarkan proses pengeringan, satu kaedah baru penyediaan bahan suapan dalam bentuk percampuran kering telah dilakukan. Untuk ini, PMMA yang digunakan adalah terdiri daripada serbuk PMMA komersial berjenama Elvacite yang mempunyai saiz serbuk 100 µm dan juga serbuk PMMA yang didapati daripada proses pengeringan emulsi yang dikisar dan diayak hingga ke saiz serbuk 53 µm. Bahan suapan tersebut telah dicampur ke dalam mesin pencampur bilah sigma selama dua jam pada suhu 120°C. Bahan suapan kemudian disemperit panas sebelum dilakukan proses pengacuan. Keputusan uji kaji menunjukkan dalam semua kes, didapati PMMA telah menyerak secara tidak sekata. Ini seterusnya meningkatkan lagi bahan teracu untuk mengampul semasa proses pengurasan dan menyebabkan bahan tersinter mempunyai banyak keliangan. Walau bagaimanapun, adalah dirumuskan bahawa dengan menggunakan serbuk PMMA yang bersaiz lebih kecil, produk yang lebih baik akan diperolehi. Kata kunci: Percampuran kering, pengacuan suntikan logam, pengsinteran, bahan suapan, serbuk keluli tahan karat 316L An injection moulding binder, which is composed of poly ethylene glycols (PEGs) of various molecular weights and poly methylmethacrylate (PMMA), has been developed for injection of metal powders. Feedstocks have been prepared using a wet process with PMMA introduced in the form of an emulsion with particles of 0.1 to 0.2 µm in size. To eliminate the drying process, an attempt has been made to prepare the feedstock using a dry mixing process using 316L stainless steel powder as a model material. For this, the PMMA used was either a commercial powder, Elvacite, with a particle size of up to 100 m or a powder obtained by drying the emulsion and grinding the resultant cake, followed by classification using 53 µm sieves. The feestock constituents were mixed into a sigma blade mixer for 2 hours at mixing temperature of 120°C. The feedstock was then hot extruded using piston injection moulding machine prior to being moulded. It was found in all cases that PMMA was poorly dispersed. This resulted in an increased tendency for the moulded bars to swell on being leached and the sintered bars to have a substantial residual porosity. This study suggests that by using small particles of PMMA powder, an acceptable product could be obtained. Key words: Dry mixing, metal injection moulding, sintering, feedstock, 316L stainless steel powder
