T. Pieczonka et al., DILATOMETRIC STUDY OF SOLID-STATE SINTERING OF AUSTENITIC STAINLESS-STEEL, Journal of materials processing technology, 64(1-3), 1997, pp. 327-334
Examination of the dimensional behaviour of AISI 316L austenitic stain
less steel during sintering in high purity hydrogen was carried out us
ing dilatometric method. Influence of the heating rate on dimensional
changes and sintered microstructure was established. It was shown that
the heating rate influences both the kinetic of shrinkage and microst
ructure but not the final density of sintered compacts.
