Abstract
The investigation has been undertaken to develop and study the upsetting characteristics of iron-based sintered porous components by using elemental powders through powder metallurgical techniques. The paper presents experimental results of forming Fe-based sintered porous samples and upsetting it by two methods. The first method involves upsetting between two flat plates (anvils). The second method is based on the deformation of the material in closed-die. The study compares the graphs of variation of the force vs. displacement. The aim of the article is to compare the experimental characteristics of upsetting process of samples with different porosities. Metallic porous structure was obtained as a result of sintering processes Fe-based powders mixtures with addition of copper catalyst and Fe (III) oxide as a space holder. The sintering was proceeded at the temperature of 1130OC and 50 min. long, in dissociated ammonia protective gas. Some samples were sintered with addition of powdered activated carbon to increase its porosity properties and change chemical composition.
