Abstract

The physical and process properties of powdered ferrochrome produced by grinding of high-carbon ferrochrome FKh800 are examined. It is found that the ferrochrome is pulverized sufficiently well, and its physical and process properties allow its use to make wear-resistant powder materials. The effect of ferrochrome content on the structure and properties of materials sintered in vacuum from iron powder compacts and powdered FKh800 is studied. The materials containing 30 wt.% FKh800 are found to have high values of density, bending strength, hardness, and resistance to abrasive wear.
