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:
According to the present invention, an alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy is regulated to have a specific surface area of 0.100 m2/g or larger, contain Mo in an amount in the range of 0.2-1.5 mass%, and contain a graphite powder in an amount in the range of 0.1-1.0 mass% per 100 mass% the alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy. Thus, a sintered object which combines strength and toughness on a high level can be obtained from the alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy.
Abstract:
In an iron-based powder, 0.01% to 5.0% by mass of a flaky powder having an average particle size of longitudinal size of 100 µm or less, a thickness of 10 µm or less, and an aspect ratio (longitudinal size-to-thickness ratio) of 5 or more with respect to the iron-based mixed powder is contained, whereby the flowability of an iron-based mixed powder is increased, the density of a green compact is increased, and ejection force is greatly reduced after compaction, thereby accomplishing an increase in product quality and a reduction in production cost.
Abstract:
The inclusion of 0.01-5.0% by mass of oxide particles with an average particle diameter of 0.5µm or more in an iron-based mixed powder increases the liquidity of said iron-based mixed powder, improves the green density of the green compact, and greatly reduces the post compacting ejection force, thus improving the quality of goods and a reducing manufacturing costs.

Abstract:
Disclosed is an iron-based powder for powder metallurgy, which is obtained by making a flowability improver particle containing 50-100% by mass of carbon black adhere to the surface of an iron powder particle through a binder. This iron-based powder for powder metallurgy is excellent in flowability, and can be uniformly filled into a thin-walled cavity. This iron-based powder for powder metallurgy can be compacted with high ejection force, while maintaining sufficient strength for a sintered body during a sintering process that follows the compaction process.
Abstract:
An iron-based powder for powder metallurgy, wherein: an alloying component and/or a machinability improver are adhered to the surface of an iron powder with a binder having a melting point of 150ºC or lower; carbon black is adhered to the surface of the binder; and the amount of a free binder is adjusted to 0.02 mass% or less. In this iron-based powder, the aggregation of a lubricant is inhibited. Therefore, the iron-based powder exhibits excellent fluidity, can be uniformly filled into a thin cavity for forming a thin-wall product, permits a reduction in the withdrawal force necessitated after molding, and does not cause the strength degradation of a sintered body.
