Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Hard particles are incorporated as a starting material in a sintered alloy. The hard particles contain 20 to 60 mass % Mo and 3 to 15 mass % Mn, the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A hard particle for incorporation in a sintered alloy, consisting of: 20 to 60 mass % Mo; 3 to 15 mass % Mn; and the balance consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities. 2. A wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy obtained by: obtaining a mixed powder by mixing, into an iron-based powder that becomes a matrix, a powder composed of the hard particles according to claim 1 so that the hard particles are dispersed; and sintering the mixed powder, wherein the wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy comprises 15 to 60 mass % of the hard particles with reference to the wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy. 3. A method of producing a wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy, comprising: obtaining a mixed powder in which an iron-based powder that becomes a matrix is mixed with 0.2 to 2 mass % graphite powder, and 15 to 60 mass % powder composed of the hard particles according to claim 1 ; compacting the mixed powder; and sintering the compacted mixed powder while diffusing a carbon of the graphite powder into the hard particles.
