Abstract: A method of producing Iron-Silicon high density sintered articles of intricate design comprising: (a) the blending of compressible iron or low-carbon steel powder, silicon alloyed iron or silicon powder, or combination of silicon alloyed iron and silicon powder, and lubricant, (b) cold pressing said blended mixture with pressures of less than 50 tsi to form the structure of said article with the density up to 88% of the theoretical value and with uniformly distributed hard powder consisting of silicon and/or silicon alloyed particles among ductile iron powder, (c) low temperature stress relieving heat treatment of said formed article at the temperature range of 360-800.degree. C. followed by a cooling rate of less than 120.degree. C.
