    It is well known that boron is widely used in order to enhance sintering process for obtaining high density of sintered iron alloys. It was found that even a small amount of elemental boron added to iron based powder compacts, produces significant increase in densification rate upon formation of a liquid phase. Due to the attractive characteristic the use of boron has also been actively investigated for enhancing sintering stainless steels powders. In present research boron was added as a part of master alloy, which has been designed to provide the formation of wetting liquid phase, with accomplished characteristics for manufacturing controlled densification of sintered austenitic stainless steels powders AISI 316L. In this paper the influence of sintering atmosphere and the boron in 0,1; 0,2; 0,3 and 0,4 wt. % amount on the density, microstructure and selected properties of sintered austenitic stainless steels were reported. Green compacts obtained by cold compaction at 600 MPa reached densities around 6,2 g/cm3. The sintering process was carried out both in pure dry hydrogen atmosphere and in vacuum at temperature 1240 degree Celsius using dilatometer Netzsch DIL 402C. In order to interpret the influence of sintering atmosphere and boron content on the sintering behaviour of boron alloyed austenitic stainless steels powders during heating and isothermal holding, the evolution of the dilatometric curves have been discussed. The as-sintered microstructures were characterized under the SEM (EDS), while the pore morphology by the image analysis. In conclusion it could be affirmed that the addition of the master alloy containing boron to austenitic stainless steels powders, produces a permanent liquid phase that enhances densification compacts during sintering, in particular in hydrogen atmosphere. For this reason the results are promising from a technological point of view, because boron addition could extend applications of sintered stainless steel both with respect to lower sintering temperature and shorter time necessary to obtain well rounded pores which are desirable with respect to mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.Bor jest skutecznym aktywatorem procesu spiekania proszk贸w 偶elaza i proszk贸w stopowych. stwierdzono, 偶e nawet niewielki dodatek boru aktywuje proces spiekania w wyniku pojawienia si臋 cieczy zwil偶aj膮cej powierzchni臋 cz膮stek proszk贸w, przyczyniaj膮c si臋 do wzrostu stopnia zag臋szczenia spieku. Dzi臋ki interesuj膮cym charakterystykom bor stosowany jest r贸wnie偶 do aktywowania spiekania proszk贸w stali nierdzewnych. Celem przeprowadzonych bada艅 by艂o wyja艣nienie wp艂ywu dodatku boru w ilo艣ci 0,1; 0,2; 0,3 i 0,4% cie偶. wprowadzonego do mieszanki proszk贸w w postaci mikroproszk贸w zaprawy zawieraj膮cej bor, na kszta艂towanie sie mikrostruktury i w艂a艣ciwo艣ci spiekanych austenitycznych stali nierdzewnych AISI 316l. wypraski prasowano pod ci艣nieniem 600 MPa uzyskuj膮c g臋sto艣膰 6,2 g/cm3. spiekanie przeprowadzono w atmosferze suchego wodoru oraz w pr贸偶ni, w temperaturze 1240 stopni Celsjusza, wykorzystuj膮c dylatometr Netzsch DIL 402c. w oparciu o przebieg krzywych dylatometrycznych analizowano wp艂yw dodatku boru oraz rodzaj zastosowanej atmosfery na przebieg procesu spiekania. Ponadto analiz臋 mikrostruktury przeprowadzono w oparciu o obserwacje SEM (EDS), a morfologi臋 porowato艣ci w oparciu o analiz臋 obrazu. Stwierdzono, 偶e dodatek boru w postaci mikroproszk贸w zaprawy przyczynia sie do aktywacji procesu spiekania w szczeg贸lno艣ci w atmosferze wodoru. Uzyskane wyniki s膮 bardzo interesuj膮ce nie tylko z naukowego punktu widzenia ale r贸wnie偶 z praktycznego, poniewa偶 mog膮 przyczyni膰 sie do zwi臋kszenia zastosowa艅 spiekanych austenitycznych stali nierdzewnych

    Present study describes results of research conducted on sinters manufactured from a powdered AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel modified with an addition of boron-rich master alloy. The main aim was to study impact of the master alloy addition on a corrosion resistance of sinters in 0.5M water solution of NaCl. In order to achieve it, a potentiodynamic method was used. Corrosion tests results were also supplemented with a microstructures of near-surface areas. Scanning electron microscope pictures of a corroded surfaces previously exposed to the corrosive environment were taken and compared. It was successful to increase the corrosion resistance of AISI 316L sinters modified with master alloy. It was also successful in particular samples to obtain a densified superficial layer not only on the sinters sintered in the hydrogen but also on sinters sintered in the vacuum. No linear correlation between presence of the densified superficial layer and the enhanced corrosion resistance was noticed.W poni偶szym artykule zaprezentowano wyniki bada艅, jakie zosta艂y przeprowadzone na spiekach wykonanych z proszku austenitycznej stali nierdzewnej AISI 316L z dodatkiem mikroproszku bogatej w bor zaprawy.

    Due to an excellent combination of toughness and strength, bainitic-austenitic dual phase steels with silicon addition have many applications in the industry. However, silicon has a high affinity to oxygen and, therefore, its introduction to the alloy is problematic during the classical sintering processes of mixing powders. Mechanical alloying (MA) offers one of the most attractive alternatives to the introduction of silicon to Astaloy CrM powders. The aim of the present study was to determine the influence of the MA process on changes in particle size distribution, work hardening and sintering behaviour of the investigated powder mixture - Astaloy CrM powder with the addition of 2 wt.% stearic acid and 2 wt.% silicon carbide alloyed under different conditions. The practical aspect of this study was to develop and apply a common and inexpensive method of die-pressing to compact a powder mixture prepared by the MA process.Dwufazowe stale bainityczno-austenityczne ze wzgl臋du na swoje w艂a艣ciwo艣ci wytrzyma艂o艣ciowe i plastyczne maja coraz szersze zastosowanie w przemy艣le. Jednak偶e wprowadzanie do sk艂adu mieszanek dodatku krzemu nastr臋cza wiele problem贸w technologicznych podczas klasycznego spiekania materia艂贸w proszkowych m.in. poprzez du偶e powinowactwo tego pierwiastku do tlenu. Proces mechanicznego stopowania oferuje jedno z alternatywnych rozwi膮za艅 wprowadzenia krzemu do niskostopowych proszk贸w Astaloy CrM. W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badan wp艂ywu procesu mechanicznego stopowania na zmiany wielko艣ci cz膮stek proszku, ich utwardzenie oraz efekty zachodz膮ce podczas spiekania mieszanek: Astaloy CrM z dodatkiem 2% wg kwasu stearynowego

    The influence of adding different amounts of silicon carbide on the properties (density, transverse rupture strength, microhardness and corrosion resistance) and microstructure of low alloy steel was investigated. Samples were prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) process and sintered by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. After the SPS process, half of each of obtained samples was heat-treated in a vacuum furnace. The results show that the high-density materials have been achieved. Homogeneous and fine microstructure was obtained. The heat treatment that followed the SPS process resulted in an increase in the mechanical and plastic properties of samples with the addition 1wt. % of silicon carbide. The investigated compositions containing 1 wt.% of SiC had better corrosion resistance than samples with 3 wt.% of silicon carbide addition. Moreover, corrosion resistance of the samples with 1 wt.% of SiC can further be improved by applying heat treatment
