Abstract

Distaloy SA is a sponge iron powder (nominal composition: Fe-1.75Ni-1.5Cu-0.5Mo) widely used in the production of powder metallurgy (P/M) parts in the automotive industry. In this study, Distaloy SA powders were sintered in two different atmospheres, one consisting of pure Ar gas (traditional sintering) and the other consisting of a mixture of 90 wt.% B₄C and 10 wt.% NaBF₄ powders (borosintering). To investigate the effects of the different sintering atmospheres, the P/M samples were characterized using density measurements, surface roughness tests, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, microhardness measurements, nanoindentation experiments, wear tests and corrosion tests. On the surface of the borosintered samples, a 160-325 µm thick double-phase FeB + Fe₂B boride layer was formed. The hardness (1405-1688 HV) and elastic modulus (122.21-162.42 GPa) of the surface were significantly improved with the borosintering treatment compared to conventional sintering (215-250 HV, 63.28-94.86 GPa). Borosintering also provided low friction coefficient values and an increased wear resistance compared to conventional sintering. A significant increase in corrosion resistance was also observed with the borosintering treatment in three different solutions. The corrosion rates of both sintered and borosintered samples were ranked as NaCl < HCl < H₂SO₄. The borosintered samples displayed superior corrosion resistance compared to the sintered samples, especially in the acid solutions. The results of this study show that significant cost savings can be achieved by combining the boriding and sintering treatments in a single borosintering process.
