Sintered composite sliding part and production method therefor

Abstract

A process for producing a sintered composite sliding part having an outer member made of an Fe-based wear resistant sintered member in which a hard phase is dispersed in a matrix at 15 to 70% by volume and an inner member made of a stainless ingot steel. The matrix is made of an Fe-based alloy including 11 to 35% by mass of Cr, and the hard phase is formed by precipitating and dispersing at least one selected from the group consisting of intermetallic compounds, metallic silicides, metallic carbides, metallic borides, and metallic nitrides in an alloy matrix made of at least one selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Cr, and Co. The outer member is formed with a hole, the inner member is closely fitted into the hole, and the outer member and the inner member are diffusion bonded together.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A production method for a sintered composite sliding part, comprising:
 preparing an Fe-based alloy powder including 11 to 35% by mass of Cr, and a hard phase forming alloy powder for forming a hard phase by sintering, the hard phase being formed so that at least one selected from the group consisting of intermetallic compounds, metallic silicides, metallic carbides, metallic borides, and metallic nitrides is dispersed in an alloy matrix made of at least one selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Cr, and Co by precipitating;   adding the hard phase forming alloy powder into the Fe-based alloy powder at 15 to 70% by volume;   mixing the hard phase forming alloy powder and the Fe-based alloy powder so as to obtain a mixed powder as a raw powder;   compacting the raw powder into a shape of an outer member with a hole so as to obtain an outer member compact,   closely fitting an inner member made of a stainless ingot steel into the hole of the outer member compact; and   sintering the outer member compact and simultaneously diffusion bonding the outer member compact and the inner member together.   
     
     
         2 . The production method for the sintered composite sliding part according to  claim 1 , wherein the production method further comprises presintering the outer member compact, recompressing the outer member compact so as to obtain a presintered recompressed compact, closely fitting the inner member into the hole of the presintered recompressed compact, and sintering the presintered recompressed compact and simultaneously diffusion bonding the presintered recompressed compact and the inner member together. 
     
     
         3 . The production method for the sintered composite sliding part according to  claim 1 , wherein a powder including powder particles having a maximum particle diameter of not more than 46 μm at not less than 90% by mass is used as the Fe-based alloy powder. 
     
     
         4 . The production method for the sintered composite sliding part according to  claim 3 , wherein a granulated powder formed by granulating the powder recited in  claim 3  so as to have an average particle diameter of 80 to 150 μm is used as the Fe-based alloy powder. 
     
     
         5 . The production method for the sintered composite sliding part according to  claim 1 , wherein the Fe-based alloy powder includes 3.5 to 22% by mass of Ni. 
     
     
         6 . The production method for the sintered composite sliding part according to  claim 1 , wherein the hard phase forming alloy powder consists of 20 to 60% by mass of Mo, 3 to 12% by mass of Cr, 1 to 12% by mass of Si, and the balance of Co and inevitable impurities.
