Description
Summary:Titanium is be used to enhance mechanical and corrosion properties of stainless steel 316L. The stainless steel (316L) powder water atomized (PWA) is reinforced with titanium powder and green parts are produced by powder injection molding (PIM). Various weight percentages of titanium which are 0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% are used to study the effects of titanium into 316L stainless steel (SS). Then, the green samples are sintered in argon environment in three different temperature which are 1300 oC, 1345 oC, 1390 oC. Characterization of the samples were done through morphological analysis under scanning electron microscope (SEM). While tensile test was done to measure the mechanical properties of the stainless steel after enhancement with titanium. Also, the corrosion test is done to check the corrosion resistance of samples in Ringer’s solution.
