Abstract
A phosphorus steel powder for manufacturing sintered details having an extremely small tendency to brittleness ruptures consists of iron or steel powder substantially free from phosphorus, mixed with a phosphorus powder characterized by a maximum particle size of 20 .mu.m, preferably a maximum particle size of 10 .mu.m. The phosphorus content of the ferrophosphorus powder shall exceed 2.8% and in order to reduce the wearing of the tools the phosphorus content shall be less than 17%. If the ferrophosphorus powder is manufactured by grinding piece goods the phosphorus content shall exceed 12% and shall preferably be between 14 and 16%. The phosphorus content of the preferred mixture is between 0.2 and 1.5%. The iron-ferrophosphorus mixture is heated with or without the addition of oil in reducing atmosphere to a temperature of between 650.degree. and 900.degree. C for a period of 15 minutes to 2 hours to improve the protection against segregation.
