Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0401482A2] A sintered alloy for, in particular, valve seats for use in internal combustion engines operated both with unleaded and with leaded fuels consists of a martensitic iron alloy as a matrix in which is incorporated 5 to 20 % by weight of hard intermetallic phases, and it has been found that this sintered alloy is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant in both fuels and has a long life. The starting powder mixture is economical, has good flow and compressibility properties and can be moulded and sintered with good dimensional accuracy and thus used economically in the mass production of the workpieces. <IMAGE>
