Abstract (en)

A process for producing a powder metal part uses a powder metal composition substantially comprising 1.0 - 2.5% Ni, 0.3 - 0.7% Mo, 0.15 - 0.30% Mn, 0.5 - 1.5% Cu, 0.3 - 0.7% C, and 0.5- 1.0% zinc stearate, the balance being Fe. This is first compacted. The compacted mass is sintered at a temperature in the range about 2000 DEG F to 2150 DEG F for a time in the range about 15 to 30 minutes in a furnace having a dew point ranging from about 20 DEG F to 60 DEG F and under an endothermic atmosphere. The part as sintered has good strength and the product has improved machineability.
