INTRODUCTION

316L and 17-4PH stainless steels are versatile materials being used in many industrial sectors such as offshore, marine, aerospace, nuclear, chemical, and bioengineering due to their good combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.[1] Recently, several investigations have highlighted the potential of HIP’d 316L steel for the fabrication of pressure retaining components for nuclear reactors.[2–5] Growth in the powder metallurgy sector[6–12] has led to a considerable increase in the complexity of alloys, products, and processing routes, in particular the metallic powder supply chain.[13] One of the main factors to take into consideration in metallic powders is that most steel alloying elements such as Cr, Mn, Ti, V, Si, and Al are highly reactive to oxygen when exposed to air or other oxygen containing atmospheres and can spontaneously oxidize even under high vacuum conditions.[14] Metallic elements can also
