  • Patent number: 5403371
    Abstract: An iron-based powder for making wear-resisting and heat-resisting components by compacting and sintering consists of, in addition to Fe, 3-15% by weight of Mo and/or 3-20% by weight of W, the total amount of Mo+W being in the range off 3-20% by weight; 0.2-1.0% by weight of P; 0.5-1.5% by weight of C. A component is powder-metallurgically made of this iron-based powder by compacting the powder into the desired shape and sintering the compact at a temperature below about 1150.degree. C.
