The invention discloses a preparation method of high-strength
powder austenitic stainless steel and belongs to the field of
powder metallurgy. According to the method, a
titanium-containing stainless steel
powder prepared through water-gas combined atomization is taken as a
raw material,
zirconium-
hafnium powder is added to serve as a carbon fixing agent and an
oxygen fixing agent, and the
zirconium-
hafnium powder and atomized steel powder are subjected to high-energy ball milling, forming,
sintering and heat treatment, so as to obtain a high-strength powder stainless steel product.
Zirconium,
hafnium and
titanium belong to elements of the same family and are similar in
chemical property, when
zirconium, hafnium and
titanium are added into a stainless steel
system,
intergranular corrosion can be further prevented, meanwhile, Ti, Zr (Hf) and O form an ordered phase in the
sintering and heat treatment process, so that the effects of reducing the
oxygen content of a steel matrix and strengthening a second phase are achieved, the
plasticity of the steel matrix is improved, meanwhile, the material strength is greatly improved, and the high-strength powder stainless steel product is obtained. The preparation method has the advantages of simple preparation process, no need of additional equipment, high production efficiency, no
pollution or inclusion, excellent performance and the like.
