Sintering of 316L stainless steel bimodal powder produced by electrical explosion of wires
Abstract
The sintering of 316L stainless steel bimodal powders produced by electrical explosion of wires is investigated. The microstructural development and densification as temperature functions are investigated. The sintering is shown to begin at 700 °C and end at 1200 °C, with relative density reaching 0.94. Full density close to theoretical is reached at 1350 °C.
