Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Raw material powder containing iron powder, copper powder, and tin powder is compressed to form a green compact. The green compact is sintered in a temperature range of from 750 to 900° C., to bond iron structures to each other with copper and tin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a machine part, the method comprising the steps of: compressing raw material powder containing 1 to 10 wt % of copper powder, 0.5 to 2 wt % of tin powder, and 0.1 wt % or more and less than 0.5 wt % of graphite powder, with the balance being iron powder to form green compacts; and sintering the green compacts in a temperature range of 750° C. or more and less than 900° C. in a non-aligned state in which directions and postures of the green compacts are not uniformized, to bond iron structures to each other with copper and tin and obtain sintered compacts, wherein the sintered compacts are not subjected further sintering. 2. The method of manufacturing of the machine part according to claim 1 , wherein the iron structures are bonded to each other with a copper-tin alloy. 3. The method of manufacturing of the machine part according to claim 1 , wherein the iron-based sintered metal comprises free graphite. 4. The method of manufacturing of the machine part according to claim 1 , wherein the raw material powder has a blending ratio of tin to copper of 1/5 or more and 1 or less in terms of weight ratio. 5. The method of manufacturing of the machine part according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature range for sintering the green compacts is from 800 to 850° C.
