Therefore, it becomes important for the binding agent to have not only a high adhering force but also strength high enough for resisting against the vibration when conveyed.
  • the binding agent (lubricant) in the patent literature 1 is brittle, and while it can temporarily adhere graphite powder to the surface of the main raw material powder, it is easily delaminated by vibration when conveyed so that segregation of the graphite powder cannot be prevented.

  • the binding agent as the second required property needs to be easily decomposed when heated for sintering in sintering of a compact and to have no adverse effect on the sintered compact. Also, since the binding agent is a substance to be disappeared in this way, it is desired to be inexpensive as much as possible.
  • the polyolefin wax used as the binding agent in the present invention is relatively simple in structure and inexpensive as found from, for example, polyethylene wax and polypropylene wax as well as is easily decomposed on heating to disappear, and has no adverse effect on the sintered compact.
  • the binding agent as the third required property needs to possess the property that the graphite powder can be easily adhered to the surface of the main raw material powder.
  • the polyolefin wax has a low melting point and can be easily melted, it is possible to perform melt mixing at low temperature to adhere the graphite powder to the surface of the main raw material powder.
  • the polyolefin wax used as the binding agent increases the adhering properties and strength with an increase of its molecular weight. From this viewpoint, the polyolefin wax with the weight average molecular weight Mw of 1000 or more is preferred. On the other hand, since the melting point and the decomposition temperature are increased with a higher molecular weight, the polyolefin wax with the weight average molecular weight Mw of 400,000 or less is preferably used.
  • polyethylene wax weight average molecular weight Mw is preferably within a range of 1,000 to 40,000, and more preferably within a range of 1,000 to 10,000

  • the amount used is an amount good enough to adhere graphite powder to the surface of the iron powder or the iron-based alloy to be used as the main raw material powder.
  • the specific gravity of the binding agent is small, its use in a large amount results in an increase of the relative amount of the binding agent contained in the compact so that the density of the compact is reduced thereby and the compactability of the raw material powder is lowered. Therefore, the amount of the polyolefin wax used as the binding agent should be adjusted depending on the additive amount of the graphite powder, and is preferably adjusted for use to 10 to 80 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the graphite powder as the additive amount.

  • the surface of the polyolefin wax is negatively charged by friction when conveyed. Also, since the polyolefin wax has the high insulation property, the state of the surface of the polyolefin wax becomes negatively charged. On the other hand, since the iron powder or the iron-based alloy powder of which parts of the surface are exposed is positively charged by friction when conveyed, an electrically attractive force exerts on the surrounding powder coated with the polyolefin wax which is negatively charged.
  • the negatively-charged powder is added in a form of free powder in order to prevent the powder coated with the polyolefin wax from electrically attracting each other. Since the negatively-charged powder is a free powder not-adhered, it is electrically attracted to the exposed part of positively charged iron powder or iron-based alloy powder to cover the exposed part of the iron powder or the iron-based alloy powder. Therefore, the powder coated with the polyolefin wax to which the negatively-charged powder is adsorbed has the whole surface thereof being negatively charged, preventing the powder coated with the polyolefin wax from electrically attracting each other.
  • the powder coated with the polyolefin wax above does not electrically attract each other, but even in this case, by addition of the negatively-charged powder, an electrical repulsive force between the negatively-charged powder and the powder coated with polyolefin wax acts and the flowability of the powder mixture can be improved.

  • Use of the powder with the same component as the main raw material powder, as the powder to be treated for negatively charging is herein preferred since there is no adverse effect on the structure of the metal in the sintered compact.
  • the specific surface area of the negatively-charged powder is increased with a finer size of powder as well as its mass becomes smaller making easier attraction to the exposed part of the positively charged iron powder or the ion-based alloy powder above, that is, the main raw material powder 1 .

This is due to the fact that as the additive amount of the negatively-charged powder is below 0.02 parts by mass, it is difficult to obtain its effect consistently, and also as the additive amount is above 0.5 parts by mass, the ejection pressure of a pressurized powder-compact is substantially increased after compacting the powder.

  • Powder mixture samples in which 0.02 parts by mass of the negatively-charged powder is added to such the powder mixture in which the graphite powder is attached to the surface of the iron powder by the polyolefin wax improve the flowability of the powder mixture and have a smaller flow rate as compared to the powder mixture of sample number 18 in which the powder is simply mixed conventionally. Also, the more the additive amount of the negatively-charged powder increases, the more the flowability of the powder mixture is improved and the smaller the flow rate is. However, further improvement in the flow rate is not observed even when the additive amount of the negatively-charged powder to the powder mixture exceeds 0.3 parts by mass.
  • the attachment rate of graphite powder can be substantially improved by attaching graphite powder to the surface of the iron powder using the polyolefin wax but the flowability is reduced, and the reduction of the flowability can be improved by adding 0.02 parts by mass or more of the negatively-charged powder relative to 100 parts by mass of the iron powder to the powder mixture in which the graphite powder is attached to the surface of the iron powder using the polyolefin wax, and in this case its flowability can be further improved as compared to the powder mixture in which the powder is simply mixed conventionally.

As the additive amount of negatively-charged powder exceeds 0.5 parts by mass (sample number 17), the ejection pressure is reduced to a range of 90% of the ejection pressure of the powder mixture (sample number 18) in which the powder is simply mixed conventionally.

It is found from these results that use of the polyolefin wax with the weight average molecular weight Mw of 1000 or more is desired, since not only the attachment rate of the graphite powder but also the flowability can be improved.
  • the ejection pressure tends to increase with an increase of the weight average molecular weight Mw of the polyolefin wax.
  • the ejection pressure is still lower in value than that of the powder mixture (sample number 18) in which the powder is simply mixed conventionally.
  • the weight average molecular weight Mw of the polyolefin wax exceeds 40,000, it is considered that the ejection pressure increases to the same level to that of the powder mixture (sample number 18) in which the powder is simply mixed conventionally. Therefore, considering the ejection pressure, the polyolefin wax with the weight average molecular weight Mw of 40,000 or less is preferably used.

Also, the flowability of the powder mixture is further improved with an increase of the additive amount of the negatively-charged powder and the flow rate is reduced. However, further improvement in the flowability is not observed even when the additive amount of the negatively-charged powder to a powder mixture exceeds 0.3 parts by mass.
  • the ejection pressure is reduced to a range of 80% of the ejection pressure of the powder mixture (sample number 18) in which the powder is simply mixed conventionally, and as the additive amount of the negatively-charged powder exceeds 0.5 parts by mass (sample number 37), the ejection pressure is reduced to a range of 90% of the ejection pressure of the powder mixture (sample number 18) in which the powder is simply mixed conventionally.
