Abstract

This study compares the electrochemical response of austenitic stainless steel (316L) and yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG)-reinforced 316L composites microwave-sintered in solid-state (1200 °C) and supersolidus (1400 °C) condition. Compared with conventional sintering (through radiative heating), microwave sintering results in better corrosion resistance. This has been correlated with higher densification and microstructural attributes in the latter. The 316L-5YAG composites consolidated in microwave furnace at 1400 °C yields the highest corrosion resistance.
