F. Velasco et al., EFFECT OF INFILTRATION ON THE MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES AND CORROSION-RESISTANCE OF AUSTENITIC STAINLESS-STEELS, International journal of powder metallurgy, 31(4), 1995, pp. 309
316L and 304L austenitic stainless steels have been infiltrated with d
ifferent levels of copper and bronze. The materials have been subjecte
d to mechanical tests (tensile strength, elongation and hardness) and
to corrosion in sulfuric, hydrochloric and nitric acids. Infiltration
improves the sintered density and mechanical properties. Bronze enhanc
es the corrosion resistance in sulfuric and hydrochloric acids. infilt
ration with copper or bronze reduces the corrosion resistance in nitri
c acid.
