An investigation was made on high-alloy fine powders-to build up specific hybrid powders with iron core powders-which were produced Ni, Mo, Cr etc-concentrated by high-pressure water atomization.
The results obtained of these hybrid powders are as follows:(1) All the hybrid powders may possibly be processed according to conventional iron powder making technique and hence show good compressibility and sinterability as compared with prealloyed ones concerned.
(2) 4600/4800 (Ni-Mo) type sintered steels have tensile strength of over 60kgf/mm
2 (C<0.2%), although having a little heterogeneous matrix mainly due to lower diffusivity of Ni.
(3) When S of 0.3% added, 4600/4800 type sintered steels show the improved machinability for drilling test-especially, tool life increased to almost double figures-with no loss of mechanical properties.
(4) 4100 (Cr-Mn) type sintered steels have tensile strength of 80kgf/mm
2 accompanied by fair toughness, successfully for the good combination of vacuum-sintering and heat-treatment.
