It is suitable for parts, various filters, etc., and Cr-based stainless steel powder is suitable for high-strength, wear-resistant sintered materials.

Therefore, various methods for improving the density of these materials have been studied, such as softening by annealing, or, for example, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-30604, so-called A○D in the melting and refining process. There are attempts to mainly reduce the nitrogen content by using a furnace (argon/oxygen smelting furnace) or the like to reduce the nitrogen content to 150 ppm or less and the oxygen content to 100 oppm or less. However, softening due to annealing increases costs, and on the other hand, although the reduction in the amount of impurities improves the compressed density and sintered density,
At present, no significant improvement can be expected.

(Structure of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the present inventor investigated various conventional methods for reducing impurities in stainless steel powder, and found that it is not possible to simply reduce the content of oxygen and nitrogen as impurities in stainless steel powder. It was found that hardening of steel powder could not be effectively prevented.

The stainless steel powder of the present invention is produced by first reducing nitrogen and oxygen in molten steel using an AOD furnace, then remelting the raw material in a melting furnace such as a high frequency induction furnace, and then atomizing it using a water spray method. do. In this case, the AOD material obtained through normal operation contains 150 to 200 ppm of nitrogen, but
If Ar gas is used to prevent nitrogen pickup due to the use of nitrogen gas, it is reduced to 100-150 ppm, and the oxygen content is reduced to 2000 ppm or less.

However, the content levels of Ti and AQ are usually as high as 50 to 60 ppm for Al and 200 ppm for Ti.
Since many nitrides such as AflN and TiN exist in the steel, a decrease in hardness cannot be expected. This is because when stainless steel is melted, impurities such as Ti are mixed in from the chromium source used as a raw material, and it is impossible to reduce the amount of such impurities even by using an AQD furnace.

Ti content is 100ppm, AQ content is IQppm
As a conventional example, the Ti content is regulated to 200%.
A molten metal with a PPn+, AQ content of -1,l: of 60 ppm is refined to change the carbon equivalent (C+aN) (a: constant), and stainless steel powder is produced by a water spray method.
This was molded and the compressed density was examined. As shown in Fig. 1, the compacted density can be increased by lowering the carbon equivalent (particularly the nitrogen content);
AQ, the example of the present invention with a small content has a greater effect of improving compressed density than the conventional example, and therefore the effect of improving sintered density is also greater.
