Today, most stainless steel materials are sintered at high temperatures to achieve mechanical, corrosion, and high-temperature properties through densification. Although this method of processing provides the required properties, the resulting dimensional changes can be difficult to control.

A potential alternative to reduce the amount of densification required would be stainless steel powders with higher compressibility, which can reach higher green densities at reasonable compaction pressures. The purpose of this paper is to compare different techniques to attain higher sintered ...
