In order to evaluate the influence of the nanosized Ni powders, different amounts of nanosized Ni powders are added to produce the Cr-(50-x) mass% Ni-x mass% nNi alloys (x = 0, 10, 20 , and 30). The hot pressing was maintained at 1275°C, 48 MPa for 1 h. The microstructure evaluation, mechanical, and electrical properties were performed. The results reveal that mechanical and electrical properties are enhanced when increasing the nNi addition. The Cr-20 mass% ­Ni-30 mass% nNi presents the highest relative density of 96.53% and the electrical conductivity of 2.18×104 Scm–1, moreover, the hardness and transverse rupture strength values increase to 76.1 HRA and 1217 MPa, respectively. Moreover, a more homogeneous microstructure and a decrease in the mean grain size to 3.15 μm are acquired. Significantly, this fabrication procedure (adding 30 mass% nanosized nickel powders) results in the optimal microstructure, electrical and mechanical properties of submicron-structured Cr-(50-x) mass% Ni-x mass% nNi alloys.}, type={Article}, title={Study on the Microstructure, Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Hot Pressing Cr-50 Mass% Ni Alloys Fabricated by Addition of Various Ratios of Nanosized Ni Powders}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/124020/PDF/AMM-2022-3-19-Chang.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2022.139688}, keywords={electrical conductivity, hot pressing, transverse rupture strength, nanosized nickel powders, Cr-50 mass% Ni alloy}, }
