| Abstract Scope |
A novel method combining rapid sintering with subsequent thermomechanical processing (TMP) is introduced to produce fully dense steel parts with mechanical properties comparable to those of conventionally cast and hot-worked steels. This powder metallurgy approach significantly reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions, particularly when using iron powder produced via hydrogen reduction and melt-less processes. In this study, Gleeble thermo-mechanical testing was conducted to investigate pore evolution and microstructural changes in sintered steel during hot compression. Additionally, conventional steel powder samples were sintered using the novel rapid sintering technique at different conditions and subsequently subjected to TMP. After TMP, sample densities approached their theoretical values, and mechanical properties were comparable to those of steels with similar composition and microstructure produced by conventional wrought methods. |
