Effect of additional elements on the properties of manganese steels

Abstract

This chapter provides information and knowledge about the wider impact of the additional elements, i.e. molybdenum, copper, tin, phosphorus and boron, on the mechanical and other properties of sintered mixed manganese steels and some steels alloyed with manganese, chromium and other elements. Particular attention in this chapter is devoted to boriding of sintered steels to produce hard coatings on their surfaces resistant to wear under the technical and technological conditions in which they were produced. Samples of these steels were prepared under different forming and sintering conditions with respect to the possible application of such materials for the production of sintered parts with the characteristics of each system achieved under the particular conditions.
