Modeling the Densification of 316L Stainless Steels

Article Preview

Abstract:

Stainless steels are employed as filters, and in this application the amount of pores and their size distribution are very important. Here it is discussed a densification model, which takes into account both, grain size and density. After this model is applied to experimental data, the obtained parameters can be used for extrapolation in other sintering conditions, for example other temperatures and heating rates. The studied material is the austenitic alloy 316L.
