Properties of iron powders obtained from high-carbon melts by air atomization with subsequent decarburization

The article examines the physical and processing characteristics of iron powders obtained by atomization and subsequent “decementation.” Experimental data, obtained by x-ray diffraction investigation, are presented on the influence of compaction pressure on the fine structure (second-type microdistortions, dislocation density, and mosaic-block size) of the powder particles.
