The iron-based prealloy powder for powder metallurgy according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes 0.5 to 5.0 wt % of Cu, 0.1 to 0.5 wt % of Mo, and a balance of Fe and other inevitable impurities. A Cu content (Cu %) and a Mo content (Mo %) satisfy the following Relational Equation (1): 0.3×Cu %+3×Mo %≤2.7 (1).
Abstract:
A finish heat treatment apparatus for an iron powder. Raw iron powder is placed on a continuous moving hearth and continuously charged into the apparatus. In a pretreatment zone, the raw iron powder is subjected to a pretreatment of heating the raw iron powder in an atmosphere of hydrogen gas and/or inert gas at 450 to 1100° C. In decarburization, deoxidation, and denitrification zones, the pretreated iron powder is subsequently subjected to at least two treatments of decarburization, deoxidation, and denitrification. In the pretreatment zone, a hydrogen gas and/or an inert gas serving as a pretreatment ambient gas is introduced separately from an ambient gas used in the at least two treatments is introduced from the upstream side of the pretreatment zone and released from the downstream side so as to flow in the same direction as a moving direction of the moving hearth.
Abstract:

Abstract:
An Fe—Mo—Cu—C-based alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy has a chemical composition containing Mo: 0.2 mass % to 1.5 mass %, Cu: 0.5 mass % to 4.0 mass %, and C: 0.1 mass % to 1.0 mass %, with a balance being Fe and incidental impurities, wherein an iron-based powder has a mean particle size of 30 μm to 120 μm, and a Cu powder has a mean particle size of 25 μm or less. Despite the alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy having a chemical composition not containing Ni, a part produced by sintering a press formed part of the powder and further carburizing-quenching-tempering the sintered part has mechanical properties of at least as high tensile strength, toughness, and sintered density as a Ni-added part.
