Dimensional Changes, Microstructure, Microhardness Distributions And Corrosion Properties Of Iron And Iron-Manganese Sintered Materials

Abstract

Iron samples and Fe-Mn alloys with Mn content of 25 wt.% and 30 wt.% were prepared by blending, compressing and sintering with the aim to study their dimensional changes, microstructure, microhardness distribution and primarily the electrochemical corrosion behaviour in a simulated body environment.
