The powder used in MIM had a bi-modal size distribution of 0.11 and 9.19 μm and had a spherical shape. The initial powder consisted of γ-Fe and Cr23C6 phases. Microstructural observation of the manufactured (MIMed) HK30 alloy confirmed Cr23C6 along the grain boundary of the γ-Fe matrix, and NbC was distributed evenly on the grain boundary and in the grain. After a 24-hour high temperature oxidation test at air atmospheres of 1000, 1100 and 1200°C, the oxidation weight measured 0.72, 1.11 and 2.29 mg/cm,2 respectively. Cross-sectional observation of the oxidation specimen identified a dense Cr2O3 oxide layer at 1000°C condition, and the thickness of the oxide layer increased as the oxidation temperature increased. At 1100°C and 1200°C oxidation temperatures, Fe-rich oxide was also formed on the dense Cr2O3 oxide layer. Based on the above findings, this study identified the high-temperature oxidation mechanism of HK30 alloy manufactured by MIM.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Microstructure and High Temperature Oxidation Properties of FE-CR-NI HK30 Alloy Manufactured by Metal Injection Molding}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/111311/PDF/AMM-2019-2-14-KA%20Lee.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2019.127571}, keywords={Metal injection molding, HK30, Microstructure, High temperature oxidation}, }
