2. Description of the Related Art Sintered bodies manufactured by molding and sintering alloy steel powder as a raw material in a powder metallurgy process, sintered carburized and quenched bodies, sintered forged bodies and sintered forged carburized and quenched bodies (sintered The term "sintered heat treated body" will be used later because it includes those that undergo size and shape correction / modeling by sizing, coining, cutting, drilling, etc., or surface treatment such as shot peening and carbonitrides. Said), its range of use is gradually expanding to the area of high-strength parts. For example, gears for automobile parts, which require high tensile strength, impact value and fatigue strength, are typical. When manufacturing this automobile gear, in order to improve its tensile strength, impact value and fatigue strength, iron, Mo, Cu, N
It is common to manufacture an iron-based sintered body by alloying i, Co, W, Mn, Cr, V, P, Si, etc., and then subject it to heat treatment such as carburizing, nitriding, and quenching-tempering. is there. However, in this iron-based sintered heat-treated body, the higher the tensile strength, the higher the fatigue strength, but on the other hand, the impact value often decreases, so focusing on the improvement of the raw material powder as a countermeasure,
Research and development have been carried out on alloy steel powders that enhance both tensile strength and impact value, or that balance tensile strength and impact value.

Alloying elements such as n, Cr, V, P and Si came to be added. Then, in the stage of the raw material powder, as a powder to which the above alloying elements are added, (1) a mixed powder in which each alloying element powder is mixed with pure iron powder, (2) a preliminary alloy in which each element is completely alloyed in the molten steel stage in advance. Alloy steel powder (3) Partially diffused alloy steel powder (also called composite alloy steel powder) in which each alloy element powder is partially diffusion-bonded to the surface of pure iron powder or prealloyed steel powder has come to be manufactured. .

However, the mixed powder obtained by mixing the alloy element powders with the pure iron powder of (1) has the advantage that the high compressibility comparable to that of pure iron powder can be ensured with the intention of increasing the density of (b). However, if the CO 2 concentration and dew point in the sintering atmosphere or the carburizing atmosphere are not strictly controlled at the time of sintering, the active metals Mn, Cr, V, Si, etc. will oxidize rather than the added Fe ( There is a problem that the oxygen content in (c) cannot be reduced, and further, each alloying element does not sufficiently diffuse into Fe and remains in a heterogeneous structure, so that the matrix strengthening in (a) cannot be achieved. Therefore, the mixed powder obtained by mixing the alloy element powders with the pure iron powder of (1) cannot meet the recent demand for higher strength, and has recently come to a state where it is not used.

On the other hand, the pre-alloyed steel powder obtained by completely alloying the respective elements of (2) is produced by atomizing molten steel with water, so that solid solution due to oxidation and complete alloying in the atomizing process of molten steel is performed. Hardening occurs, but Mo, Mn, Cr, V,
By limiting the types and amounts of alloying elements such as Si and P, it is possible to secure low oxygen content in (c) and high compressibility comparable to that of pure iron powder in (b). Further, there is a possibility of strengthening the base by completely alloying (a), and it is currently being developed as a high-strength, high-toughness prealloyed steel powder. Further, the partially diffused alloy steel powder of (3) is obtained by mixing pure iron powder or prealloyed steel powder with metal powder of each element and heating it in a non-oxidizing or reducing atmosphere to obtain pure iron powder or Since each metal powder is partially diffusion bonded to the surface of the pre-alloyed steel powder, the mixed powder of (1) and (2)
The advantages of pre-alloyed steel powder can be combined. Therefore, the low oxygen content of (c) and the high compressibility comparable to that of pure iron powder of (b) can be secured, and a composite structure consisting of a complete alloy phase and a partially concentrated phase is formed to strengthen the matrix of (a). Therefore, it is still under development as a partial diffusion prealloyed steel powder for high strength and high toughness.

Therefore, the prealloyed steel powder and the partial diffusion prealloyed steel powder will be described in detail below, but in many cases, Mo is used as the basic alloying component thereof. This is for the same reason that Mo is usually used as a strengthening element for steel materials. That is, in steel materials, Mo delays the formation of pearlite, transform-strengthens the matrix (matrix) as a bainite structure, distributes the matrix to the matrix and solidifies the matrix, and becomes a fine carbide. As a result, the matrix phase is precipitation-strengthened, and the gas carburizing property is good, and since it is a non-grain boundary oxidation element, it is carburized. Then, at the stage of sintering the pre-alloyed steel powder containing Mo, iron phosphorous powder is mixed with it to strengthen the matrix in (a) and reduce the pores and spheroidize the pores in (b). -P2 binary system and the eutectic temperature of the quaternary system of Fe-Mo-P-C, that is, the melt generated at 1050 ° C to 1180 ° C and the α-phase formation of Fe-Mo-P are used.

It reduces the green compact density and sintered density by solid solution hardening of
There is a problem in that the strength of the sintered body and the strength and impact value of the carburized and quenched body are reduced. In particular, Mn and Cr have another problem that the retained austenite is increased and the strength is further decreased in the sintered and carburized and quenched body. Further, when Fe 3 P powder having an O content of more than 1.0 wt% is used, the strength and toughness of the sintered / carburized and quenched body are not improved even though the Fe 3 P powder is added.

Means for Solving the Problems The inventor has conducted diligent research in order to achieve the above object, and is more susceptible to oxidation than Fe in the heat treatment process such as atomization process, reduction annealing process, sintering process and carburizing and quenching of molten steel. It was found that a low oxygen content can be achieved by limiting the amount of elements to a low level and preventing oxygen mixed in from the iron phosphorus powder. In addition, when pre-alloyed steel powder that essentially requires Mo-V is mixed with iron phosphorus powder having an O content of 1.0 wt% or less and sintered, the P oxidation amount of the iron phosphorus powder is two elements of Fe-P and The basic knowledge was also obtained that sintering was promoted without inhibiting the generation and diffusion of the Fe-Mo-P-C quaternary melt.

The mixed steel powder for powder metallurgy is characterized by being mixed so as to be 0.1 to 0.6%. Therefore, heat treatment such as atomization process of molten steel, reduction annealing process, sintering process and carburizing quenching. Oxidation that occurs in the process can be reduced to a very small extent, and the hardness of the Fe base in the steel powder stage can be made as good as that of pure iron powder. As a result, the mixed powder with iron phosphorus powder, or the one in which graphite powder is mixed, exhibits high compressibility as when using pure iron powder, and further solid solution strengthening of P and spherical spheres are achieved.

If the graphite powder to be mixed exceeds 1.2%, the pro-eutectoid cementite phase and the steadite phase in the sintered and carburized and quenched body are coarsened, and the strength and toughness thereof are reduced. Furthermore, in order to ensure the compressibility in mold molding,
It is necessary to mix 2% or less of one or more kinds of lubricants and organic binders, but if the amount exceeds 2% and becomes excessive, the above compressibility deteriorates, resulting in a sintered / carburized case. The number of residual vacancies increases and the strength and toughness are rather deteriorated. As the lubricant, metal soap powder such as stearic acid and zinc stearate can be used, and as the organic binder, camphor, wax, oleic acid, stearic acid monoamide, stearic acid diamide and the like can be used. The metal soap powder and the organic binder may not only be mixed at the time of molding, but may also be heated to a temperature higher than the melting point (melting temperature) and adhered to the surface of the steel powder in advance.

When iron powder was used, it became as highly compressible as possible. Further, even in a sintered body containing P and a heat treated body such as carburizing and quenching, due to solid solution strengthening by P and spheroidization of pores, and in a sintered body containing C and P and a heat treating body such as carburizing and quenching. In addition, due to the solid solution strengthening of P, spheroidization of pores, and refinement of the structure in which fine V carbides were precipitated in addition to the precipitation of Mo carbides, the strength was further enhanced compared to when using a single Mo pre-alloy powder. A mixed steel powder for powder metallurgy and a sintered body thereof having high toughness were obtained. Furthermore, Mo powder, Cu powder, N
