Abstract
1.2C–4Cr–4Mo–10W–3.5V–10Co–Fe high-speed steel (JIS SKH57; ISO HS10-4-3-10) is often manufactured via casting and forging. By applying powder metallurgy, the properties of the abovementioned material can be improved. In this study, the effects of sintering conditions on the formation of precipitates and pores are evaluated. Additionally, strength with and without hydrostatic pressure during sintering is evaluated via static bending and impact tests. Sintering via hot isostatic pressing (HIP) at 1463 K can effectively eliminate pores and prevent the coarsening of precipitates. Toughness and strength improved by 50% by applying HIP.
