Abstract
Oxidation resistance of sintered SUS304 stainless steel and the effect of calorizing were studied.
The results obtained are summarized as follow:
1) Oxidation resistance of sintered compacts at 500°C and 700°C increases with increasing of relative density.
2) Oxidation resistance at 900°C of sintered compacts with relative density of 96-98% is superior to that of other sintered compacts and of the specimens from molten metal.
3) Oxidation resistance of sintered compacts is improved by calorizing.
4) Bending strength of sintered compacts decreases very slightly after being oxidized.
