Abstract
A method for preparing an article is disclosed. The method comprises compacting a mixture of a first pre-alloyed powder and a lubricant to thereby form a green part having a green strength sufficient to permit mechanical handling; applying a slurry to a surface of the green part to thereby form a slurry coated green part, wherein the slurry comprises a second pre-alloyed powder, a binder, and a solvent; and heating the coated green part to a temperature below a solidus temperature of the first pre-alloyed powder and between a solidus temperature and a liquidus temperature of the second pre-alloyed powder to thereby solid state sinter the first pre-alloyed powder into a sintered core and to liquid state sinter the second pre-alloyed powder into a continuous alloy coating over the sintered core.
