Abstract
Abstract An alloy steel powder having a basic alloy composition, which is composed of at least one of manganese, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, and the remainder being iron, and having low carbon, nitrogen and oxygen contents is excellent in the compressibility and moldability at the press molding and further excellent in the carburizing property and hardenability in its sintered steel or powder forged steel.
