Abstract
The fatigue strength of the sintered and carburized compact made of the Mo hybrid-alloyed steel powder, which is based on a 0.6mass%Mo prealloyed steel powder to which 0.2mass%Mo powder particles have been diffusion bonded, is higher than that of the 0.6mass%Mo prealloyed steel powder. The sintered compact made of the Mo hybrid-alloyed steel powder has a finer pore structure than that of the Mo prealloyed steel powder, because the Mo-rich region near the surface of the Mo hybrid-alloyed steel powder should exist as the α-iron phase with a high diffusion coefficient at high temperature and result in enhanced sintering. Improvement in the fatigue strength of the sintered and carburized compact made of the Mo hybrid-alloyed steel powder should result from not only the fine pore structure but also the strengthening of the sintering neck by Mo concentration around pores.
