摘要:
A method for enhancing strength and hardness of powder metallurgy stainless steels comprises steps of fabricating a stainless steel powder into a green compact; placing the green compact in a reducing environment and maintaining the green compact at a sintering temperature to form a sintered body; and placing the sintered body in a carbon-bearing atmosphere and maintaining the sintered body at a carburizing temperature below 600° C. to implant carbon atoms into the sintered body and form carburized regions in the sintered body. Thereby, the strength and hardness of powder metallurgy stainless steels can be improved. As the carburizing temperature is lower than 600° C., chromium would not react with carbon. Therefore, the strength and hardness of powder metallurgy stainless steels can be enhanced and the superior corrosion resistance is still preserved.

A low-temperature stainless steel carburization method comprises steps: providing a stainless steel material; placing the stainless steel material in a halogen-free reducing environment and maintaining the stainless steel at a first temperature ranging 1,050 to 1,400° C.; and placing the stainless steel material in a carbon-bearing atmosphere and maintaining the stainless steel material at a second temperature lower than 600° C. to implant carbon atoms into the stainless steel material to form a carburized layer on the surface of the stainless steel material. A halide-bearing gas or solution is not to be applied to activate the passivation layer, so the fabrication cost would be reduced and the safety of carburization process would be enhanced. Besides, the environment can be prevented from halide pollution.

A method for improving surface mechanical properties of non-austenitic stainless steels comprises steps of: providing a non-austenitic stainless steel material; placing the non-austenitic stainless steel material in an environment containing at least one austenite-stabilizing element, and implanting the austenite-stabilizing elements into a surface of the non-austenitic stainless steel material to form a modified layer enriched with the austenite-stabilizing elements; and placing the non-austenitic stainless steel material in a carbon-bearing atmosphere to make the modified layer in contact with the carbon-bearing atmosphere, and maintaining the non-austenitic stainless steel material at a carburizing temperature below 600° C. to implant carbon into the modified layer to form a carburized layer. The carburized layer enhances the surface hardness of the non-austenitic stainless steel material and enables it to apply to decorative components or structural components demanding high abrasion resistance, high surface hardness, and high corrosion resistance.

A sinter-hardening raw powder can yield a press-and-sinter compact with high hardness. The raw powder for sintering includes Fe as its primary component and also includes 0.3-0.8 wt % C, 5.0-12.0 wt % Ni, 1.0-5.0 wt % Cr, and 0.1-2.0 wt % Mo, wherein the mean particle size of the raw powder for sintering is between 50 and 100 μm. The sintered and tempered compact, without any quenching treatment, has high hardness.

A method for fabricating fine reduced iron powders comprises the following steps: heating fine iron oxide powders having a mean particle size of smaller than 20 μm to a reduction temperature of over 700° C. to reduce the fine iron oxide powder into iron powders that are partially sintered into iron powder agglomerates; and performing a crushing-spheroidizing process on the iron powder agglomerates to obtain individual iron powders having a mean particle size of smaller than 20 μm. The method can reduce iron oxide powers into iron powders having a rounded shape and a high packing density and a high tap density, which are suitable for the metal injection molding process and the inductor fabrication process. The reduced iron powder may further be processed using an annealing process and a second crushing-spheroidizing process in sequence to further increase the sphericity, packing density, and tap density of the reduced iron powder.

摘要:
A mechanical and electrical bond between a silicon semiconductor wafer and a molybdenum contact is created by a multi-layer brazing material. The material includes adjacent layers of titanium and silver along with a layer which is either composed of aluminum or an aluminum-silicon composite. The material is heated to a temperature above its melting point. The aluminum reacts first with the silver, thereby dissolving less of the silicon. This reduces spiking and lowers the contact resistance.
