Abstract:
According to the present invention, a machining-improving powder is a crystalline layered alkali silicate heat-treated at a temperature range of 400-1100°C, and the mixture constituting the machining-improving powder is set such that an iron-based powder takes up 0.01-1.0 mass% in relation to the total amount of alloy powder and machining-improving powder. As a result, not only can sintering of a compact be performed in a sintering furnace without having any negative effects on the environment inside the furnace, but it is also possible to attain a mixed powder for powder metallurgy by which it is possible to obtain a sintered body having both exceptional lathing properties and exceptional drilling properties.
Abstract:
An iron based powder for powder metallurgy that can be molded while ensuring high fluidity, uniform filling in thin cavity and high withdrawal force can be provided by adhering fluidity improving particles via a binder onto the surface of iron powder. The iron-base powder for powder metallurgy comprising iron powder, wherein the iron powder comprises a first iron powder with surfaces to each of which flowability-improving particles adhere through a binder, wherein the flowability-improving particles include PMMA and/or PE, and the average particle diameter of the flowability-improving particles is in a range of 5 to 500 nm.
Abstract:
A flaky powder having an average major-axis diameter of 100 µm or smaller, a thickness of 10 µm or thinner, and an aspect ratio (ratio of major-axis length to thickness) of 5 or higher is incorporated into an iron-based powder in an amount of 0.01-5.0 mass% to thereby obtain an iron-based mixed powder. This iron-based mixed powder has enhanced flowability, gives compacts having an improved density, and enables the formed compacts to be ejected at significantly reduced force. Consequently, an improvement in product quality and a reduction in production cost are attained.
