description | Copper-containing iron-based materials have recently been recognized as potential biomaterials possessing antimicrobial ability. Since then, iron-copper systems have been prepared by different methods and investigated. This article is focused on PM materials made from composite powders. The powders, each particle of which consisted of an iron core and a copper shell, were prepared by electroplating. Test-pieces with copper contents of 0, 3.2, and 8 wt.% were fabricated by pressing and sintering from iron and composite powders. Some microstructural, mechanical, and corrosion characteristics of test-pieces were examined. Microstructures were composed of pores and iron grains with alloyed peripheral regions and copper-free cores. As the copper content in test-pieces was increased, their density and Young’s modulus decreased, and macrohardness, corrosion potential and corrosion current density increased. Likely causes of density and Young’s modulus reduction were higher porosity, low enough copper content, and compliant inclusions in stiff matrix. The increase in macrohardness was attributed to the precipitation hardening which prevailed over softening induced by pores. The increase in corrosion potential and corrosion current density was most likely due to the presence of more noble phase providing surfaces for a faster cathodic reaction. |
