My company will be using a sintering process to make 17-4 and cobalt chrome parts and I wanted to know if using this process versus a part being made from a billet could have a higher probability of corrison.

Chris: Whether a sintered part or one manufactured from a billet will exhibit different corrosion resistance will probably depend on the quality of both parts, as the basic chemistry should exhibit similar corrosion rates. Another issue is what heat treatment (hardness) the individual parts will be made to. Hardness can effect certain damage mechanisms (hydrogen embrittlement). Hope this helps!

David, Thank you for the reply. Do you know of anyone else on the site that has dealt with sintered parts? Do you know if there are any of the members interested in this process for work they are doing? Regards, Chris
