Processing and Characterization of Fe-Mn-Cu-Sn-C Alloys ...
In this work, Fe-Mn-Cu-Sn-C alloys were prepared by means of powder metallurgy (PM). Powder mixtures were ball-milled for 8, 30 and 120 h and densified to < 1% porosity using spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 900 °C and 35 MPa. After consolidation, all samples of the Fe alloys were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hardness and flexural …
