Provided is a method of producing a composite having high strength and high thermal conductivity. The method includes: an alloy preparation step including preparing an alloy which is a solid solution containing α-Fe as a solvent and at least one type of α-phase stabilizing element as a solute; a first mixing step including mixing at least one type of α-phase stabilizing element in powder form and SiC to prepare a first mixture; a second mixing step including mixing the alloy and the first mixture to prepare a second mixture; and a sintering step including sintering the second mixture.

Method for manufacturing αFe—SiC composite material, and αFe—SiC composite material

Provided is a Fe-based sintered body which has both of a high hardness and a high thermal conductivity and which can be more stably produced. The Fe-based sintered body includes: a matrix () containing Fe as a main component; and a hard phase () dispersed in the matrix (). The matrix () is formed in a network shape and contains αFe. The hard phase () contains TiC.

Fe-based sintered body, Fe-based sintered body production method, and hot-pressing die

Provided is a press apparatus which ensures high production efficiency and has less chances of breakdown. Specifically, the press apparatus has a base placed on a floor, and a platform arranged over the base to face the base and move up and down. A lower die, on which a steel plate is to be placed, is fixed to the base. An upper die is fixed to the platform to press the plate against the lower die and turn it into an initially formed product through a downward movement of the platform, and to pressure-hold the initially formed product with the lower die. A machining die is supported on the platform to move up and down to machine the initially formed product and form a final product by moving down while pressure-holding the initially formed product.
