Abstract
The Fe-Ni compact bodies were fabricated using Fe-Ni mixed powders with 50 nm in diameter by injection molding process. The relationship between microstructure and material properties was characterized with respect to the volume ratio of powder/binder and sintering temperature with SEM and TEM. In the compact body having the volume percent ratio of 45(Fe-Ni) : 55(binder), which was sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ the values of relative density and hardness were low about 97.7% and 277.1 Hv, respectively. Using the composition of 50(Fe Ni) : 50(binder) and sintered at $900^{\circ}C$, the values of relative density and hardness were 98.5%, 294.4 Hv, respec-tively. The grain size of sintered bodies strongly depended on the sintering temperature. In both samples sintered at $600^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$, the average grain sizes were about 150 nm and 500 nm in diameter, respectively.
