Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain steel powder having excellent compressibility by constituting composite alloy iron powder diffused with alloy elements in the surface and uncomposite alloy iron powder and adopting the uncomposite alloy iron powder for the whole or part of fine iron powder having a specific grain size. CONSTITUTION:The steel powder is constituted of the composite alloy iron powder obtd. by alloying the alloy elements to the surface of the iron powder and the uncomposite alloy iron powder. The uncomposite alloy iron powder is adopted for >=30wt.% of the fine powder having <=44mum grain size in the above-mentioned steel powder. Said steel powder is obtd. by sieving, for example, raw material iron powder by using a sieve having 44mum sieve opening and diffusively alloying the alloy elements to the coarse powder or a mixture composed of the coarse powder and part of the fine powder, then mixing the uncomposite alloy iron powder with the composite alloy iron powder. The steel powder obtd. in such a manner is not alloyed in part or the whole of the fine powder and is soft and, therefore, the sintered body having the good compressibility and high green, density is obtd.

Parts made by sintering steel powder are used in a variety of fields, including automobile parts, but in recent years, technological demands have focused on how to provide high-strength, high-density parts. It has become. When focusing on high strength, alloyed steel powder containing generally known strengthening elements can achieve a higher level of mechanical properties than ordinary pure iron powder, and is expected to have industrial potential in the future. It is something that exists. The so-called pre-alloyed steel powder, in which rollers uniformly contain alloying elements in the steel powder, generally hardens the steel powder and reduces the compressibility of the steel powder.
This is disadvantageous for obtaining high density. -On the other hand, in the mixed powder method, in which pure iron powder and alloying element powder are mixed and molded, and then alloyed during sintering to create parts, the diffusion of one alloying element is insufficient, making it difficult to improve the strength of the sintered body. I remain dissatisfied.

Therefore, a technique has become popular in which alloying elements are partially alloyed by diffusion treatment on the surface of iron powder to create a composite alloy steel powder that satisfies compressibility and homogeneity at the same time. In order to produce such composite alloy steel powder, it is necessary to combine iron powder and substantially 44B
uniformly mixed with a powder serving as an alloying element with a particle size of m or less,
Heating causes these powders to undergo metallurgical bonding by diffusion. This technique is described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 45-9649, and Ni, Cu, Mo, etc. can be selected as alloying elements.

However, in the production of such composite alloy steel powder, the degree of partial diffusion bonding is a key point in achieving both compressibility and homogeneity. That is, if there is almost no metallurgical bond between the iron powder and the alloying element, there is no improvement in strength compared to the simple powder mixing method in terms of properties.

On the other hand, if the diffusion progresses too much, the alloying elements will be uniformly alloyed in the iron powder particles, making the iron powder hard and reducing its compressibility. It is desirable that the bonding state be optimal.

To achieve this optimal state, iron powder with a particle size distribution and powder containing alloying elements are mixed.

According to the findings based on research by the present inventors, since the progress of diffusion during heating differs depending on the particle size of the iron powder, it is necessary to perform different treatments for coarse iron powder and fine iron powder. In other words, when heated for the same amount of time, alloying elements in coarse iron powder diffuse only to the very surface, and even if the inside of the iron powder is kept soft, in fine iron powder particles, the diffusion progresses to the inside of the iron powder, resulting in pre-alloyed steel. Like powder, it becomes hardened particles and its compressibility decreases.
