  • Patent number: 4632074
    Abstract: A wear-resistant member and method for producing the same which member may form a movable member in an internal combustion engine which is subjected to high pressure such as a rocker arm, tappet, cam, valve or valve seat. The member is formed as a combination of a ferrous sintered body and a ferrous base body having a common surface. The sintered body is formed from a compressed powder body disposed in contact with the ferrous base body. The powder body, in a preferred embodiment, consists of 0.5 to 7.0% by weight carbon, 0.1 to 5.0% phosphorus, the balance being iron, and having a porosity of 12 to 20% by volume at least 40% of which is pores having a pore size of not more than 300.mu.. The combined powder body and ferrous base body are heated to a temperature higher than the liquid-phase temperature of the powder body but lower than the melting point of the ferrous body to sinter the powder body.
