A composition for fixing metal powder molding at sintering, which is used, in the case of disposing a metal powder molding formed by rolling a mixture of a metal powder and a synthetic resin-based binder on a metal base material and sintering the metal powder molding in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, to adhere and fix the metal powder molding onto the base material until the metal powder molding is sintered by interposing between the metal powder molding and the base material, comprising a thermosetting resin composition containing a mixture of a thermosetting resin and at least one member selected from the group consisting of a metal fine powder, a thermoplastic resin and an adhesive material, wherein the amount of the residual carbon of the composition after completion of sintering is at least about 0.5% by weight.
