Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a sintered component, which can suppress occurrence of edge chipping when a through-hole is formed in a powder-compact green body and also has a good productivity. The method for manufacturing a sintered component includes a molding step of press-molding a raw material powder containing a metal powder and thus fabricating a powder-compact green body; a drilling step of forming a hole in the powder-compact green body using a drill; a sintering step of sintering the powder-compact green body after drilling, wherein the drill used for drilling has a circular-arc shaped cutting edge on a point portion thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for manufacturing a sintered component, comprising: a molding step of press-molding a raw material powder containing a metal powder and thus fabricating a powder-compact green body; a drilling step of forming a hole in the powder-compact green body using a drill; and a sintering step of sintering the powder-compact green body after drilling, wherein the drill used for drilling has a circular-arc shaped cutting edge on a point portion thereof. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the drill is configured so that a rake angle of the cutting edge is more than 0° and 10° or less. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the drill is configured so that a circular arc defining the cutting edge has a central angle of 135o or more and 180o or less. 4 . A sintered component having a hole formed therein, wherein an inner circumferential surface of the hole has a satin finish shape. 5 . The sintered component according to claim 4 , wherein a ten point medial height Rz of the inner circumferential surface of the hole is 20 μm or more. 6 . A drill for drilling a work material, wherein the work material is a powder-compact green body fabricated by press-molding a raw material powder containing a metal powder; wherein the drill has a circular arc-shaped cutting edge on a point portion thereof. 7 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the drill is configured so that a circular arc defining the cutting edge has a central angle of 135° or more and 180° or less.
