Abstract :
In this work, the effect of sintering temperature on the microstructures and tensile behaviours of NbC added powder metallurgy (PM) steels were investigated. The microstructure of the PM steels was characterised by optic microscope. Results indicated that optimal sintering temperature is 1400°C and 0.2 wt. % NbC added PM steel showed the highest values in yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS). However, when the amount of NbC content increased from 0.2 to 2 wt.%, yield strength and ultimate tensile strength decreased. Elongation also tends to decrease with increasing Nb content.
