Abstract

The glass-forming region, microstructure and powder properties of iron-based ternary alloy powders prepared by water atomization have been studied. It was observed that the intermetallic compound and theα-phase exist in the hyper-eutectic region and in the hypo-eutectic region, respectively, as a main crystalline phase. No flowability was observed for the powders in the glass-forming region, that is, for amorphous powders. Further, it was found that irregularity in shape and the mean diameter increase and the apparent density decreases as the eutectic composition is approached.
