Abstract
The liquid-phase sintering of austenitic stainless steel alloyed with boron was studied by means of image analysis. By evaluating fractional porosity, the amount of liquid constituent, grain size, and pore morp hology, the effect of boron content and sintering time on the sinterin g process was determined and discussed on the basis of the classic the ory of liquid-phase sintering. Image analysis proves to be a powerful tool for optimizing the liquid-phase. sintering process.
