Abstract
Sintering behavior of Fe-Ni compacts prepared with plated powder was studied by means of dilatometric method and electron probe micro analysis. Sintering of the plated powder compacts was enhanced with increasing nickel content, compared with the case of mixed powder. The enhancement of sintering in the plated powder compacts was more dominant in the alpha range than in the gamma range of iron. The mechanism of the enhanced sintering in the plated powder compacts was discussed.
