Austempering at Conventional Sintering Temperatures

A paper published in 2004 described the advantages of austempering after a high temperature sintering process.  One disadvantage is the increased cost involved with high temperature sinter cycles.  This paper describes the tensile properties that result from sintering at a conventional sinter temperature (1120°C) and austempering according to the cycle describe in a previous paper.  The properties that are obtained are compared with the properties that result from high temperature sinter and austemper cycle.
