Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An Fe—Mo—Cu—C-based alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy has a chemical composition containing Mo: 0.2 mass % to 1.5 mass %, Cu: 0.5 mass % to 4.0 mass %, and C: 0.1 mass % to 1.0 mass %, with a balance being Fe and incidental impurities, wherein an iron-based powder has a mean particle size of 30 μm to 120 μm, and a Cu powder has a mean particle size of 25 μm or less. Despite the alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy having a chemical composition not containing Ni, a part produced by sintering a press formed part of the powder and further carburizing-quenching-tempering the sintered part has mechanical properties of at least as high tensile strength, toughness, and sintered density as a Ni-added part.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An Fe—Mo—Cu—C-based alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy, comprising: a partial diffusion alloy steel powder obtained by diffusionally adhering Mo to an iron-based powder; a Cu powder; and a graphite powder, wherein the partial diffusion alloy steel powder has a chemical composition consisting of Mo, Fe, and incidental impurities, the alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy has a chemical composition containing Mo: 0.2 mass % to 1.5 mass %, Cu: 0.5 mass % to 4.0 mass %, and C: 0.1 mass % to 1.0 mass %, with a balance being Fe and incidental impurities, and the iron-based powder has a mean particle size of 30 μm to 120 μm, and the Cu powder has a flat shape and satisfies a relation L≤−2d+50 where d is a thickness of the Cu powder in μm and L is a diameter in a major axis of the Cu powder in μm. 2. An Fe—Mo—Cu—C-based alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy, comprising: a partial diffusion alloy steel powder obtained by diffusionally adhering Mo to an iron-based powder; a Cu powder; and a graphite powder, wherein the partial diffusion alloy steel powder has a chemical composition consisting of Mo, Fe, and incidental impurities, the alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy has a chemical composition containing Mo: 0.2 mass % to 1.5 mass %, Cu: 0.5 mass % to 4.0 mass %, and C: 0.1 mass % to 1.0 mass %, with a balance being Fe and incidental impurities, and the iron-based powder has a mean particle size of 30 μm to 120 μm, and the Cu powder is a mixed powder of a Cu powder having a mean particle size of 25 μm or less and a Cu powder having a flat shape and satisfying a relation L≤−2d+50 where d is a thickness of the Cu powder in μm and L is diameter in a major axis of the Cu powder in μm. 3. A sintered body produced using the alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy according to claim 1 as a material. 4. A sintered body produced using the alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy according to claim 2 as a material.
