Abstract
Homogenization of Mo, W and Cr in alloyed P/M carbon steels during sintering with a transient liquid phase has been investigated by microscopic and microanalytical means. The reaction was found to start with carburization of the VIa metal, continues with the formation of different carbides, and generation of a liquid phase between the carbide and γ-Fe. The steady state equilibrium remains stable until all VIa metal has been consumed. Microprobe analysis was found to yield optimum results if selected model samples, in which homogenization should not proceed too fast, are investigated.
