Sintering behaviour and microstructure development of T42 powder metallurgy high speed steel under different processing conditions High speed steel powders (T42 grade) have been uniaxially cold-pressed and subsequently densified through different sintering routes including: supersolidus liquid phase sintering (SLPS) under vacuum and different nitrogen pressures (0.2, 0.9, and 8?bar) and through solid state sintering (SSS) by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). HIP temperatures as low as 850?°C led to near full densification of the material (98% theoretical density) with average size of M6C and MC carbides lower than 1?μm and grain size ≈3?μm. Pressureless sintering under different nitrogen pressures (up to 0.39?wt.%N absorption) led to a significant reduction of the optimum sintering temperature (OST) and a pronounced increase in the sintering window (SW) as compared to vacuum sintering. Pressureless sintering under 8?bar N2 led to a further reduction in OST together with the precipitation of massive eutectic structures. Therefore, the SW was judged to be negligible. The response of the as-sintered materials to the heat treatment is basically determined by the amount of C available in the matrix prior to quenching and the grain size. The highest hardness achievable for the sintering conditions evaluated ranges 700–1100 HV2 after austenitizing at 1100?°C, oil quenching and multitempering at 500–550?°C. Tool steels serve a large range of applications including hot and cold working of metals and injection moulding of plastics or light alloys. High speed steels (HSS) are more specifically used as cutting tools and wear parts. More recently, these materials have also been used for structural applications. The high performance exhaust valve seat inserts for passenger vehicles constitute the most notable example [1]. In general terms, for these structural applications, a combination of high strength, wear resistance and hardness together with an appreciable toughness (compar
