The potential properties are further increased when the materials are compacted to high green density, and/or are sintered at high temperature and sinterhardening. This paper evaluated the properties achievable using Cr-Mo prealloyed materials compacted with different compacting techniques such as cold compaction, warm compaction and high velocity compaction to increase green density. Furthermore, the properties achieved after conventional / high temperature sintering as well as sinterhardening were compared.
