N2 - Two approaches for the synthesis of nanostructured M50 type steel (composed of 4.0% Cr, 4.5% Mo, 1.0% V, 0.8% C and balance Fe) powders and their consolidation are reported in this chapter. One approach involved the sonochemical decomposition of organometallic precursors; and the other involved the reduction of the metal halides with lithium triethyl borohydride followed by vaccum sublimation of the powders to remove lithium chloride. The as-synthesized powders are amorphous by X-ray diffraction (XRD) but the peaks corresponding to bcc α-Fe are observed in the compacts. The morphology and composition of the powders synthesized by both techniques, as well as the compacts, were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Hardness, density, particle size and impurity contents were also determined for the compacts. In addition, pure nanosized iron particles obtained by the ultrasound decompositon of iron pentacarbonyl were consolidated and the properties of the latter were studied.
