Iron-based sintered powder metal body, manufacturing method thereof and manufacturing method of iron-based sintered component with high strength and high density

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A sintered iron-based powder metal body with outstandingly lower re-compacting load and having a high density and a method of manufacturing an iron-based sintered component with fewer pores of a sharp shape and having high strength and high density, the method comprising mixing, an iron-based metal powder containing at most about 0.05% of carbon, at most about 0.3% of oxygen at most about 0.010% of nitrogen, with at least about 0.03% and at most about 0.5% of graphite powder and a lubricant, preliminarily compacting the mixture into a preform, the density of which is about 7.3 Mg/m3 or more, and preliminarily sintering the preform in a non-oxidizing atmosphere in which a partial …
