SAE 853 Class 3 Type 5 Heat Treatments
- P/M parts are porous and thus provide more surface area in any metal/gas reactions proceeding during heat treatment. In any given set of heat treating circumstances, the depth of carburization or decarburization will increase with decreasing density. Provided that the proper care is taken to maintain the appropriate carbon potential, carbon bearing iron-base P/M parts can be heat treated by conventional quench-hardening methods. It should be noted that the porous material will, on cooling, absorb some of the quench medium, perhaps resulting in some minor problems during tempering or further treatment. The absorption of fluids by the porous materials usually precludes the use of liquid salt bath treatments.
STEAM TREATMENT - This process consists of heating ferrous parts to 1000-1100°F (540-600°C) and subjecting them to superheated steam under pressure. A layer of black iron oxide is formed on all external and internal (interconnected porosity) surfaces. This oxide layer improves wear resistance, surface hardness, compressive strength and, under some conditions, corrosion resistance. The presence of oxide within the pores tends to close these channels, reducing the volume of interconnected porosity and providing a measure of pressure tightness. Steam treatment usually results in a decrease in impact resistance. It should also be noted that oxidation can lead to the generation of internal stresses with a general degradation of mechanical properties.
