摘要 |
An agglomerated stainless steel powder composition for use in rigid-die powder metallurgy is provided. The composition preferably comprises a pre-alloyed water atomized stainless steel powder and a water-soluble binder. It exhibits minimal dusting, segregation, and die galling, has good compressibility and flow rate, and produces a finished part essentially free of non-metal residues. Methods for making this agglomerated stainless steel powder composition are also provided. Improved stainless steel rigid-die powder metallurgical parts are also provided.
