Abstract

Mixed powder that contains first hard particles, second hard particles, graphite particles, and iron particles is used to manufacture a sintered alloy. The first hard particle is a Fe—Mo—Cr—Mn based alloy particle, the second hard particle is a Fe—Mo—Si based alloy particle. The mixed powder contains 5 to 50 mass % of the first hard particles, 1 to 8 mass % of the second hard particles, and 0.5 to 1.0 mass % of the graphite particles when total mass of the first hard particles, the second hard particles, the graphite particles, and the iron particles is set as 100 mass %.

Claims (33)

1. A manufacturing method of a sintered alloy comprising:

pressing mixed powder that contains first hard particles, second hard particles, graphite particles, and iron particles into a sintered-alloy compact; and

sintering the sintered-alloy compact while diffusing carbons in the graphite particles of the sintered-alloy compact into the first hard particles, the second hard particles, and the iron particles, wherein

the first hard particles contain 10 to 50 mass % of Mo, 3 to 20 mass % of Cr, 2 to 15 mass % of Mn, 1 mass % or less of C, and a remainder including Fe and inevitable impurities when the first hard particles have 100 mass %,

the second hard particles contain 60 to 70 mass % of Mo, 2 mass % or less of Si, and a remainder including Fe and inevitable impurities when the second hard particles have 100 mass %, and

the mixed powder contains 5 to 50 mass % of the first hard particles, 1 to 8 mass % of the second hard particles, and 0.5 to 1.0 mass % of the graphite particles when total mass of the first hard particles, the second hard particles, the graphite particles, and the iron particles is set as 100 mass %.

2. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein

a particle diameter of the second hard particle falls within a range of 75 μm and smaller.

3. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein

the sintered-alloy compact is heated and sintered at 1050 to 1250° C.

4. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first hard particles contain 25 to 35 mass % of Mo, 5 to 10 mass % of Cr, 2 to 10 mass % of Mn, and 1 mass % or less of C when the first hard particles have 100 mass %.

5. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein

the remainder of the first hard particles and the remainder of the second hard particles are Fe and the inevitable impurities.

6. A compact for sintering comprising:

first hard particles that contain 10 to 50 mass % of Mo, 3 to 20 mass % of Cr, 2 to 15 mass % of Mn, 1 mass % or less of C, and a remainder including Fe and inevitable impurities when the first hard particles have 100 mass %;

second hard particles that contain 60 to 70 mass % of Mo, 2 mass % or less of Si, and a remainder including Fe and inevitable impurities when the second hard particles have 100 mass %;

graphite particles; and

iron particles, wherein

the first hard particles occupy 5 to 50 mass %, the second hard particles occupy 1 to 8 mass %, and the graphite particles occupy 0.5 to 1.0 mass % when total mass of the first hard particles, the second hard particles, the graphite particles, and the iron particles is set as 100 mass %.

7. The compact for sintering according to claim 6 , wherein

a particle diameter of the second hard particle falls within a range of 75 μm and smaller.

8. The compact for sintering according to claim 6 , wherein

the first hard particles contain 25 to 35 mass % of Mo, 5 to 10 mass % of Cr, 2 to 10 mass % of Mn, and 1 mass % or less of C when the first hard particles have 100 mass %.

9. The compact for sintering according to claim 6 , wherein

the remainder of the first hard particles and the remainder of the second hard particles are Fe and the inevitable impurities.

10. A sintered alloy obtained by sintering a compact comprising:

first hard particles that contain 10 to 50 mass % of Mo, 3 to 20 mass % of Cr, 2 to 15 mass % of Mn, 1 mass % or less of C, and a remainder including Fe and inevitable impurities when the first hard particles have 100 mass %;

second hard particles that contain 60 to 70 mass % of Mo, 2 mass % or less of Si, and a remainder including Fe and inevitable impurities when the second hard particles have 100 mass %;

graphite particles; and

iron particles, wherein

the first hard particles occupy 5 to 50 mass %, the second hard particles occupy 1 to 8 mass %, and the graphite particles occupy 0.5 to 1.0 mass % when total mass of the first hard particles, the second hard particles, the graphite particles, and the iron particles is set as 100 mass %, and

in the sintered alloy, carbon is diffused into the hard particles and the iron particles.
