Table 3 Grain size and Vickers hardness measurement results of the sintered trimodal feedstock with 60 vol.%, 65 vol.%, 70 vol.% and 75 vol.% (grain size was determined using ImageJ analysis and hardness measurement was done on 10 different spots for each sample).
Trimodal 60 vol.% | Trimodal 65 vol.% | Trimodal 70 vol.% | Trimodal 75 vol.% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Grain size (μm) | 35.85 \(\pm\) 2.22 | 37.74 \(\pm\) 4.33 | 33.43 \(\pm\) 1.60 | 34.22 \(\pm\) 0.67 |
Hardness (HV) | 69.50 \(\pm\) 4.71 | 78.12 \(\pm\) 7.11 | 80.67 \(\pm\) 6.45 | 65.67 \(\pm\) 0.49 |
