بررسی تغییرات ایجاد شده در حین تف‌جوشی فاز مایع آلیاژهای حاوی اجزاء تبخیر شونده

In this paper, the possibility of elephant foot phenomenon in sintered alloys with volatile components has been studied. To do this, Cu-28Zn brass samples were sintered at the range of 890-970°C for 20 min. The in situ images from brass samples were taken at various sintering conditions. It is concluded that although liquid is pulled down by gravity, but elephant phenomenon was not appeared in these compacts. Instead, the samples were swelled. Chemical composition change and pores coarsening due to zinc evaporation could be considered as the main cause of swelling in brass compacts.
