BINDER COMPOSITION FOR POWDER METALLURGY, COMPOUND FOR POWDER METALLURGY, AND SINTERED BODY

摘要

There is disclosed a compound for powder metallurgy including a binder composition for powder metallurgy and a metal powder. The binder composition for powder metallurgy includes a hydrocarbon-based resin and wax, wherein the content of oxygen is 20 mass % or less. The content of the hydrocarbon-based resin in the compound for powder metallurgy is 1 to 2 times the content of the wax, by mass ratio. It is preferable that the binder composition further includes a copolymer formed through a copolymerization of a first monomer including a cyclic ether group with a second monomer.
