SINTER-HARDENING POWDER AND THEIR SINTERED COMPACTS

摘要

A sinter-hardening powder can yield a sintered compact with high strength, high hardness, and high density. A raw powder for sintering includes Fe as its primary component and also comprising 0.1-0.8 wt % C, 5.0-12.0 wt % Ni, 0.1-2.0 wt % Cr, and 0.1-2.0 wt % Mo, wherein the mean particle size of the raw powder for sintering is 20 μm or less. The sintered and tempered compact, without any quenching treatment, has high hardness, high strength, high density, and good ductility.
