Parameters Controlling the Oxide Reduction during Sintering of Chromium Prealloyed Steel

Table 8

Oxygen and carbon contents in the AstCrM + 0.5% C components sintered at 1120°C in a graphite container using N₂ atmosphere and in a stainless container using N₂ and 10% H₂-N₂  atmospheres.

Sintering condition	O2 (%)	C (%)	𝑅FR (MPa)
Graphite container/N2 atmosphere	0.105	0.44	721
Stainless container/N2 atmosphere	0.122	0.42	700
Stainless container/10% H2-N2	0.097	0.42	754
