Provided is a hard particle in which Cr and W, that are quickly diffused in Mo, are present at the same time as Ni and Mn. Specifically, the hard particle contains Cr: 5% by mass to 20% by mass, W: 2% by mass to 19% by mass, Mo: 25% by mass to 40% by mass, Ni: 10% by mass to 22% by mass, Mn: 10% by mass or less, C: 2.0% by mass or less, Si: 2.0% by mass or less, and a remainder: Fe and unavoidable impurities.

Hard particle, sliding member, and production method of sintered alloy

An iron alloy powder consists of, when the entirety thereof is assumed to be 100 mass %, Cr: 2.5 mass % to 3.5 mass %, Mo: 0.4 mass % to 0.6 mass %, and Fe and inevitable impurities as the balance, a mixed powder consisting of 15 mass % to 40 mass % of the iron alloy powder, 1.2 mass % to 1.8 mass % of a copper powder, 0.5 mass % to 1.0 mass % of a graphite powder, and a pure iron powder as the balance when the entire mixed powder is assumed to be 100 mass % is compacted into a compact, and the compact is sintered while transforming a structure derived from the pure iron powder into a structure in which a ferritic structure and a pearlitic structure are mixed and transforming a structure derived from the iron alloy powder into a martensitic structure.

Manufacturing method of wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy and wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy

A sintered alloy is produced from mixed powder containing first hard particles, second hard particles, graphite particles, and iron particles. The first hard particles are Fe&#x2014;Mo&#x2014;Ni&#x2014;Co&#x2014;Mn&#x2014;Si&#x2014;C-based alloy particles, the second hard particles are Fe&#x2014;Mo&#x2014;Si-based alloy particles, 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 1.5 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 %.

Production method of sintered alloy, sintered-alloy compact, and sintered alloy

The object of the present invention is to provide a compact for producing a sintered alloy which allows a sintered alloy obtained by sintering the compact to have improved mechanical strength and wear resistance, a wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy, and a method for producing the same. The wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy is produced by: forming a compact for producing a sintered alloy from a powder mixture containing a hard powder, a graphite powder, and an iron-based powder by powder compacting; and sintering the compact for producing a sintered alloy while diffusing C in the graphite powder of the compact for producing a sintered alloy in hard particles that constitute the hard powder. The hard particles contain 10% to 50% by mass of Mo, 3% to 20% by mass of Cr, and 2% to 15% by mass of Mn, with the balance made up of incidental impurities and Fe, and the hard powder and the graphite powder contained in the powder mixture account for 5% to 60% by mass and 0.5% to 2.0% by mass of the total amount of the hard powder, the graphite powder, and the iron-based powder, respectively.

Compact for producing a sintered alloy, a wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy, and a method for producing the same

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&#x2014;Mo&#x2014;Cr&#x2014;Mn based alloy particle, the second hard particle is a Fe&#x2014;Mo&#x2014;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 %.
