Abstract
Abstract PCT No. PCT/SE91/00331 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 10, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 10, 1992 PCT Filed May 10, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO91/18123 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 28, 1991.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 DEG C.
