ことにより製造されるものである。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, sealed Fe-based sintered alloy parts have been used as structural members such as hydraulic pumps, air conditioners, and compressors, which generally require pressure resistance. This sealed Fe-based sintered alloy part is obtained by sintering a green compact press-molded from a mixed powder having a predetermined compounding composition at a temperature of 1100 to 1200 ° C. in a reducing atmosphere. For the Fe-based sintered alloy substrate having a porosity of 10 to 30%, a continuous furnace or a batch furnace is used, and the temperature is 500 to 6
Under conditions of 50 ° C., pressure: 5 to 40 mmAq, and holding time: 1 to 5 hours, a superheated steam is allowed to act to form a dense oxide film of Fe 3 O 4 , and a sealing treatment with steam is performed, It is manufactured by providing a withstand pressure of 20 kg / cm 2 or more.

However, when the Fe-based sintered alloy sintered in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere is subjected to the pore-sealing treatment with the above steam, sufficient airtightness cannot be obtained, and only a withstand pressure of about 5 kg / cm 2 or less is obtained. The current situation is that there are none.

ある。Therefore, the present inventors have
From the above viewpoint, Fe sintered in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere
As a result of conducting a study focusing on the sealing treatment of the base sintered alloy substrate with steam, the Fe-based sintered alloy substrate whose sintering atmosphere was a nitrogen-containing atmosphere prior to the sealing treatment with steam was
When a hydrogen-containing atmosphere, preferably an atmosphere containing H 2 : 10 vol% or more, is subjected to a modification treatment under the condition of heating and holding at a temperature of 400 to 600 ° C., it is adsorbed and solid-solved on the alloy surface portion during sintering. Nitrogen, which hindered the progress of the oxidation reaction during the sealing treatment, was removed by the reaction with hydrogen in the atmosphere of the reforming treatment, and as a result, the progress of the oxidation reaction by steam was significantly accelerated, resulting in a dense oxidation. Since the film is formed, a research result was obtained that a sealed Fe-based sintered alloy part having a pressure resistance of 20 kg / cm 2 or more and excellent airtightness can be obtained.

品を製造する方法に特徴を有するものである。The present invention has been made on the basis of the above-mentioned research results, and is based on an Fe-based sintered alloy substrate having a porosity of 10 to 30% sintered in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere.
In a hydrogen-containing atmosphere, a reforming treatment is performed at a temperature of 400 to 600 ° C. under a condition of heating and holding, and then a sealing treatment with steam is performed to manufacture a sealed Fe-based sintered alloy part having excellent airtightness. It is characterized by the method.

の気孔率が30%を越えると強度が急激に低下するよう
になるという理由にもとづくものである。In the method of the present invention, the porosity of the Fe-based sintered alloy substrate is set to 10 to 30%, because the porosity of the Fe-based sintered alloy substrate is to be densified to less than 10%. It is not practical and requires a press-molding device (1), and on the other hand, when the porosity exceeds 30%, the strength rapidly decreases.

いう理由によるものである。In the method of the present invention, the temperature of the reforming treatment is set to 400 to 600 ° C.
When the temperature is lower than 0 ° C, the binding reaction between the adsorbed solid solution nitrogen in the substrate and hydrogen in the atmosphere is slow, and therefore the denitrification reaction takes a long time, while even if the temperature exceeds 600 ° C, the above-mentioned This is because the progress of the denitrification reaction is suppressed.
