- a metal is manufactured by including reinforcing substance including a substance such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen or the like. This reinforcing substance also reinforces crystal grains boundaries.
- metal powder injection molding grain surfaces are molten and grains are bonded to each other to be molded as a member. That is, in metal powder injection molding, grains are not entirely molten. For this reason, a metal manufactured by metal powder injection molding has weaker strength at boundaries of crystal grains, compared to metals manufactured by casting, forging or the like. The applicant found out that a cause thereof is that, not only voids are likely to enter at boundaries of crystal grains, but substance reinforcing boundaries of crystal grains is held inside metal grains.

- the reinforcing substance 120 is distributed inside crystal grains 110 , however is not precipitated at boundaries of crystal grains 110 , as shown in FIG. 11 . In other words, reinforcing influence by the reinforcing substance 120 is small at boundaries of crystal grains 110 .
- the crystal grains themselves are hardly divided due to reinforcing substance and strength of metal incinerated bodies is high at a low temperature environment.
- the reinforcing substance is not precipitated at boundaries of crystal grains, the crystal grains are easily divided at boundaries and strength of the metal member at high temperatures is low.
- a metal has been manufactured by casting, by use of reinforcing substance including metal powder of nickel based alloy including titanium carbide.

- the provided powder is heated and molten, then pumped into a metal mold to be injection molded. Later, the metal mold is cooled down and opened to take the injection molded body therefrom.
- a degreasing step of degreasing the injection molded body that has been taken out and removing the binder from the injection molded body is performed.
- the injection molded body is heated to 500° C. to remove the binder therefrom.
- an intermediate molded body, from which the binder is removed is formed.
- various methods can be used, such as degreasing by irradiating a light beam, degreasing by immersing in a solvent such as water or organic solvent, or the like, in accordance with characteristics of the binder.
- step S 50 an incinerating step of incinerating the intermediate molded body from which the binder has been removed to form an incinerated body is performed.
- bonding of metal powder is grown by heating in vacuum or inert gas.
- Incineration temperature is, for example, 1200° C. or more and 1300° C. or less.
- a pressurizing step of pressurizing the incinerated body to remove voids in the incinerated body is performed.
- a metal member with an incinerated density of 90% or more and 100% or less is molded.
- the incinerated density may be 95% or more.
- the incinerated density may be 97% or less.
- a metal member with a reinforcing substance arranged at boundaries of crystal grains can be manufactured.
- a nickel based alloy member has been manufactured by the manufacturing method 1 .
- a nickel based alloy powder has been prepared.
- This nickel based alloy powder has a maximal grain size of 20 ⁇ m and a carbon concentration of 0.01 mass %.
- This carbon concentration is a value in accordance with an amount of reinforcing powder to be mixed, because the carbon concentration of the metal member after manufacturing is controlled to 0.2 mass %.
- a titanium carbide powder has been prepared as reinforcing powder.
- the maximal grain size of this titanium carbide powder is 3 ⁇ m.
- An amount of the titanium carbide is 0.66 mass % related to the nickel based alloy powder.
- carbon concentration of manufactured metal member has been 0.22 mass %.
- the titanium carbide of the reinforcing powder is formed in granular state so as to surround crystal grains of the nickel based alloy. This is a characteristic obtained by mixing reinforcing powder to a powder for injection molding.
- no reinforcing substance is precipitated at boundaries of crystal grains of an injection molded metal member in general.
- the titanium carbide precipitated at boundaries of those crystal grains is greater than the maximal grain size of the reinforcing powder. It is understood by this as well that the titanium carbide at boundaries of crystal grains results of the mixed reinforcing powder which has melted and precipitated. That is, the grain area equivalent grain size of the reinforcing substance precipitated at boundaries of crystal grains is larger than 1/100 of the grain area equivalent grain size of crystal grains.
- the reinforcing powder includes a one with a size smaller than 1 ⁇ 5 of the grain area equivalent grain size of the crystal grains.
- the reinforcing powder includes a one with a size smaller than 1 ⁇ 8 of the grain area equivalent grain size of the crystal grains.
- most of titanium carbide have a shape so that a value of a length, in a direction in which the length thereof is the longest, divided by a length of a longest part in a direction orthogonal to this direction, is smaller than 5.
- 90% or more of granular titanium carbide has a shape in which this value is smaller than 5. Further, this value may be smaller than 3.
- reinforcing substance 230 is precipitated along boundaries of crystal grains 10 .
- reinforcing substance inside crystal grains 10 precipitates at boundaries of crystal grains.
- the reinforcing substance 230 precipitating at boundaries of the crystal grains 10 precipitates along the boundaries.
- most of the reinforcing substance 230 precipitated at boundaries have a shape so that a value of a length in a direction in which the length thereof is the longest, divided by a length of a longest part in a direction orthogonal to this direction, is greater than 5.
- the manufacturing method 1 manufactures by injection molding. For this reason, it is understood that the entire grain is not molten and that titanium carbide of reinforcing substance is distributed inside the crystal grains too.
- the reinforcing substance 30 is formed in granular state so as to surround crystal grains 10 .
- the reinforcing substance 20 is included inside crystal grains 10 too.
- FIGS. 12 to 14 reinforcing substance is hardly verified inside crystal grains of metal members manufactured by casting.
- metal members manufactured by the manufacturing method 1 has a structure different from ones manufactured by conventional metal powder injection molding, casting or the like.
- tensile strengths and elongations will be compared between a metal member manufactured by the manufacturing method 1 and a metal member manufactured by a general metal powder injection molding.
- a metal member C has been manufactured by use of metal powder of nickel based alloy with a carbon concentration of 0.12 mass %, by metal powder injection molding. A maximal grain size of this powder is 20 ⁇ m.
- the carbon concentration of the manufactured metal member was 0.20 mass %. That is, the carbon concentration is of a same level than the one of the metal member manufactured by manufacturing method 1 .
- the tensile strength of this metal member C was approximatively 585 MPa.
- the tensile strength of the metal member manufactured by the manufacturing method 1 was approximatively 620 MPa, which is a higher strength compared to the metal member C.
- the one of the metal member C is approximatively 2%
- the one of the metal member by the manufacturing method 1 is approximatively 6% which is larger. That is, it is understood that the tensile strength and the elongation of a metal member manufactured by the manufacturing method 1 are higher than ones of metal member having a carbon concentration of a same level.
- the elongation of the metal member A is approximatively 5%.
- the elongation of the metal member by the manufacturing method 1 is approximatively 6%: although the carbon concentration thereof after manufacturing is higher, this is larger than the elongation of the metal member A. That is, the metal member manufactured by the manufacturing method 1 has both larger tensile strength and larger elongation.
- the metal member manufactured by the manufacturing method 1 has an advantageous effect on both tensile strength and elongation compared to a metal member manufactured by conventional metal powder injection molding.
