Conclusions
-
1.
It has been established that in the EDS of low-melting-point metals and alloys infiltration of graphite punch electrodes by the metals and alloys is possible, resulting in marked adhesional reaction between the punch electrodes and parts being sintered.
-
2.
In the EDS of powders of carbide-forming metals, carbides of the metals being sintered frequently form in the contact zones between graphite punch electrodes and the powders, and welding of specimens to the punch electrodes occurs.
-
3.
It has been found that 3Kh2V8F steel punch electrodes can be successfully used for the EDS of comparatively low-melting-point metals (Al, Cu, Cu + Ni, and bronze). Reaction with parts being sintered can be minimized by applying to steel punch electrodes complex coatings of titanium and chromium carbides.
