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 machine part, comprising an iron-based sintered metal, the iron-based sintered metal having iron structures formed mainly of a ferrite phase, wherein the iron structures are bonded to each other with a copper-tin alloy, and wherein the iron-based sintered metal consists of 1 to 10 wt % of copper, 0.5 to 2 wt % of tin, and 0.1 to 0.5 wt % of carbon, with the balance being iron. 2. The machine part according to claim 1 , wherein the machine part has a blending ratio of tin to copper of ⅕ or more and 1 or less in terms of weight ratio. 3. The machine part according to claim 1 , wherein some or all of the carbon is free graphite.
