Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An iron-based sintered alloy, which has a composition including, in terms of percent by mass, Ti: 18.4 to 24.6%, Mo: 2.8 to 6.6%, C: 4.7 to 7.0%, Cr: 7.5 to 10.0%, Ni: 4.5 to 6.5%, Co: 1.5 to 4.5%, Al: 0.6 to 1.0%, the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities, wherein the alloy has a structure in which hard particles are dispersed in an island form in a matrix, among other characteristics.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An iron-based sintered alloy which is used in a die and a cutter blade for a pelletizer of a resin extruder, the iron-based sintered alloy having a composition comprising, in terms of percent by mass, Ti: 18.4 to 24.6%, Mo: 2.8 to 6.6%, C: 4.7 to 7.0%, Cr: 7.5 to 10.0%, Ni: 4.5 to 6.5%, Co: 1.5 to 4.5%, Al: 0.6 to 1.0%, the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities, and the iron-based sintered alloy having a structure in which hard particles are dispersed in a matrix, wherein a coefficient of friction after passing through a conforming stage is 0.12 or less in a friction test in water by a cutter blade-on-disk method simulating a die and a cutter blade, the maximum circle equivalent diameter of the hard particles is a predetermined value of 26.77 μm to 10 μm, and the hard particles have a fine and relatively uniform shape and are homogenously dispersed over the whole matrix. 2. An iron-based sintered alloy that is used in sliding components in pairs, the iron-based sintered alloy having a composition comprising, in terms of percent by mass, Ti: 18.4 to 24.6%, Mo: 2.8 to 6.6%, C: 4.7 to 7.0%, Cr: 7.5 to 10.0%, Ni: 4.5 to 6.5%, Co: 1.5 to 4.5%, Al: 0.6 to 1.0%, the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities, wherein the alloy has a structure in which hard particles are dispersed in a matrix, an area ratio of the hard particles is 38% to 41% and standard deviation of the area ratio of the hard particles is 2.5 to 3.5, and a maximum circle equivalent diameter of the hard particles is a predetermined value of 26.77 μm to 10 μm, and the hard particles have a fine and relatively uniform shape and are homogenously dispersed over the whole matrix. 3. The iron-based sintered alloy according to claim 2 , wherein the hard particles are formed from a titanium carbide, a Mo carbide or a composite carbide of titanium and molybdenum. 4. The iron-based sintered alloy according to claim 2 , wherein the components used in pairs are components to be used as a die and a cutter blade. 5. The iron-based sintered alloy according to claim 2 , wherein a coefficient of friction after passing through a conforming stage is 0.12 or less in a friction test in water by a cutter blade-on-disk method simulating a die and a cutter blade. 6. The iron-based sintered alloy according to claim 2 , wherein standard deviation of the maximum circle equivalent diameter is 6 μm to 4 μm.
