Effect of porosity and density on the mechanical and microstructural properties of sintered 316L stainless steel implant materials
Graphical abstract
Highlights Tensile strength and fatigue strength increased with an increase in sintered density. The porosity decreases with increasing sintering temperature and sintered density. The nature of the porosity is controlled by green density and sintering conditions.
Abstract In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of sintered AISI 316L stainless steel implant materials produced by powder metallurgy (P/M) method were investigated as a function of porosity amount. AISI 316L stainless steel powders were cold-pressed with 800MPa pressure and sintered at 1200°C, 1250°C and 1300°C for 30min in a nitrogen atmosphere. The mechanical properties of the 316L implant samples were determined by tensile, fatigue and microhardness tests. Metallographic studies such as pore formation, and fractured surface analyses were performed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Light Optical Microscopy (LOM). The results of this study indicate that, irregular pore formation tendencies increase with an increase in porosity (%). Furthermore, an increase in porosity was shown to decrease the mechanical properties of sintered AISI 316L stainless steel. Sintering temperature is important parameter in decreasing the porosity of P/M materials.
