Abstract
The present study investigates the effect of aluminide (Fe 3 Al and Ni 3 Al) addition and sintering temperature on the densification, hardness, wear and electrochemical behavior of austenitic (316L) stainless steels. As compared to solid-state sintering (1200 °C), supersolidus sintering (1400 °C) improves the overall performance of both straight 316L as well as 316L–aluminide composites. The addition of Ni 3 Al and Fe 3 Al to 316L stainless steels improve the mechanical and wear properties without any significant degradation of corrosion resistance.
