Abstract
In this study, pure iron, S45C carbon steel (Fe–0.45mass%C), carburized iron, and nitrided iron are bonded with two types of stainless steels, i.e., SUS304 austenitic stainless steel (Fe–18mass%Cr–8mass%Ni) with face center cubic structure or SUS430 ferritic stainless steel (Fe–18mass%Cr) with body center cubic structure by a spark plasma sintering (SPS) machine. Bonding experiments are carried out by SPS bonding. It is found that the bonding temperature of the S45C/SUS samples is lower than that of Fe/SUS samples, and carbon atoms in the S45C play important role on the bonding performance. The bonding temperature for SUS304/SUS430 sample is more than 30 °C higher than those for the Fe/SUS and S45C/SUS samples. The presence of thin chromium oxides on both stainless steels reduces the bonding performance of SUS304/SUS430 sample. Better bonding performance is found for the carburized and nitrided iron for bonding with stainless steels. However, continuous single‐phase layer on the surface leads to reduce the bonding performance. It is concluded that not only the concentration of carbon and nitrogen but also the phase configuration in the iron at interface strongly influences the bonding performance between iron alloys and stainless steels by SPS bonding.
