Abstract:
A water-atomized iron-based powder is provided that is pre-alloyed with 0.75-1.1% by weight of Ni, 0.75-1.1% by weight of Mo and up to 0.45% by weight of Mn, and further including 0.5-3.0%, preferably 0.5-2.5% and most preferably 0.5-2.0% by weight of Cu, and inevitable impurities, the balance being Fe. An alloyed iron-based powder composition including a water-atomized iron-based powder
Abstract:
A soft magnetic composite (SMC) material is formed from atomized ferromagnetic particles. The particles of a predetermined size range are formed and are coated with at least one layer of electrically insulating nano-sized inorganic fillers to form insulated ferromagnetic powder as the SMC material. The particles are further coated with a lubricating agent to facilitated demoulding.
Abstract:
A magnesium-based alloy powder is provided that comprises a magnesium-based alloy containing 0.2 mass % to 5 mass % of calcium. The magnesium-based alloy powder has an average particle diameter of 100 μm to 1,500 μm. The mean value of hardness variation index values obtained by dividing the difference of the maximum value and the minimum value of micro Vickers hardnesses taken at 10 measurement points in a particle cross section by the maximum value is 0.3 or less. The magnesium-based alloy powder has a particle surface coated with a calcium oxide-containing coating layer.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing iron-based powder includes providing an iron-based molten steel manufactured through a iron making process and a steelmaking process to a tundish; and performing water atomization over the molten steel discharged through a nozzle connected to the tundish. The iron-based powder is manufactured from the molten steel refined after a molten iron tapped from a iron making process is charged into a converter without a pre-treatment process of the molten iron, thus economically providing the highly clean iron-based powder.
Abstract:
A metal powder manufacturing device for manufacturing a metal powder includes a feed for supplying a molten metal, a fluid spout unit, and a course modification unit. The fluid spout unit further includes a channel and an orifice. The channel is provided below the feed, allowing passing of the molten metal supplied from the feed. The orifice is opened at a bottom end of the channel, spouting a fluid into the channel. The above course modification unit is provided below the fluid spout unit, and forcibly changes the traveling direction of a dispersion liquid. This dispersion liquid is composed of multiple fine droplets dispersed into the fluid. The above droplets are a resultant of a breakup caused by a contact between the molten metal and the fluid ejected from the orifice. Here, the dispersion liquid is transported so that the droplets is cooled and solidified in the dispersion liquid in order to manufacture the metal powder.

Abstract:
An annealed prealloyed water atomised iron-based powder is provided which is suitable for the production of pressed and sintered components having high wear resistance. The iron-based powder comprises 15-30% by weight of Cr, 0.5-5% by weight of each of at least one of Mo, W and V, and 0.5-2%, preferably 0.7-2% and most preferably 1-2% by weight of C. The powder has a matrix comprising less than 10% by weight of Cr, and comprises large chromium carbides. A method for production of the iron-based powder also is provided.
Abstract:
A process for producing a magnetic powder which is sufficiently reduced in core losses such as iron loss and hysteresis loss and has sufficient strength; and a process for producing a dust core. The process for magnetic powder production comprises using a magnetic-material powder produced by water atomization as a raw powder and subjecting the powder to spheroidizing in which a mechanical impact is applied to the powder to spheroidize the powder particles. After the spheroidizing, the powder is subjected to a grain enlarging treatment in which the powder is annealed at a temperature not lower than the austenite transformation point. The process for dust core production comprises compacting the magnetic powder thus produced.
