Room Temperature Compressive Property and Deformation Behavior of Microporous STS 316L Stainless Steel Tube Manufactured with Powder Sintering Process

초록

This study investigated the room-temperature compressive property and deformation behavior of microporous STS 316L stainless steel tube for catalyst manufactured with powder sintering after two-way compression molding. The microporous tube was manufactured using STS 316L powder stocks with an outer diameter of 30 mm, inner diameter of 25 mm and length of 120 mm. In initial microstructure observed from different directions and locations, the porosity was measured as 32%, and the relative density obtained using micro-computed tomography was 0.54. Phase analysis did not identify phases other than gamma-Fe. In a room temperature compression test, compressive yield strength measured 32 MPa. Observation of fractpgraphy after compression test revealed that dimples were formed at the powder-powder interface during the process where necks were disconnected. Based on the above findings, this study attempted to identify the deformation behavior of microporous STS 316L material manufactured with powder sintering after two-way compression molding and powder sintering process.
