Abstract: A soft magnetic material has an iron based powder that has an insulating coating on the surface and an ester wax. The ester wax is added in an amount not less than 0.02% by weight and not more than 0.6% by weight in relation to the soft magnetic material. Consequently, seizure between a metal mold and a material to be molded at the time of molding can be suppressed and the arising of a black residue can be prevented.

Abstract: A mixed powder is obtained by adding at least one kind of solid ester wax to an iron-based powder for powder metallurgy use. The mixed powder is molded. The melting point of the ester wax is 100° C. or lower, the quantity of the ester wax added is in the range of 0.02 wt % or more to 0.6 wt % or less, and the temperature of the mold when the molding is performed is set in a range of (the melting point of the ester wax+10° C.) or more to 200° C. or less. The ester wax thereby liquefies on the surface of the mold and bleeds out when the molding is performed. As a result, molded sintered parts with complex shapes, good surface characteristics, and high densities can be easily obtained.
