Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The object of the present invention is to provide a compact for producing a sintered alloy which allows a sintered alloy obtained by sintering the compact to have improved mechanical strength and wear resistance, a wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy, and a method for producing the same. The wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy is produced by: forming a compact for producing a sintered alloy from a powder mixture containing a hard powder, a graphite powder, and an iron-based powder by powder compacting; and sintering the compact for producing a sintered alloy while diffusing C in the graphite powder of the compact for producing a sintered alloy in hard particles that constitute the hard powder. The hard particles contain 10% to 50% by mass of Mo, 3% to 20% by mass of Cr, and 2% to 15% by mass of Mn, with the balance made up of incidental impurities and Fe, and the hard powder and the graphite powder contained in the powder mixture account for 5% to 60% by mass and 0.5% to 2.0% by mass of the total amount of the hard powder, the graphite powder, and the iron-based powder, respectively.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy, which comprises the steps of: forming a compact for producing a sintered alloy from a powder mixture containing a hard powder, a graphite powder, and an iron-based powder by powder compacting; and sintering the compact for producing a sintered alloy while diffusing C in the graphite powder of the compact for producing a sintered alloy in hard particles that constitute the hard powder, wherein the hard particles contain 10% to 50% by mass of Mo, 3% to 20% by mass of Cr, and 2% to 15% by mass of Mn, with the balance made up of incidental impurities and Fe, the hard powder and the graphite powder contained in the powder mixture account for 5% to 60% by mass and 0.5% to 2.0% by mass of the total amount of the hard powder, the graphite powder, and the iron-based powder, respectively, and the hard particles contain 0% by mass of Ni, and 0% by mass Co. 2. The method for producing a wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy according to claim 1 , wherein the hard particles further contain 1.0% by mass or less of C. 3. The method for producing a wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy according to claim 1 , wherein the hard particles have particle sizes of 44 to 105 μm.
