Title:
PRODUCTION METHOD FOR ALLOY STEEL POWDER FOR POWDER METALLURGY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/056509
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing an alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy. The method uses a moving bed furnace and, without the need for gas analysis, which makes cumbersome maintenance necessary, makes it possible to heat treat an iron-based powder that contains Cr and Mn and stably reduce C content and O content. A production method for an alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy wherein an atomized iron-based powder that has a specific component composition is prepared, wherein the atomized iron-based powder is supplied to the inside of a moving bed furnace such that a filling layer that has a thickness of d (mm) is formed, wherein a hydrogen-containing gas is supplied to the inside of the moving bed furnace such that the hydrogen-containing gas has an average gas flow velocity of v (mm/s), and wherein the atomized iron-based powder is reduced by being heat treated inside the moving bed furnace and an alloy steel powder for powder metallurgy is produced, wherein d and v satisfy the expression d/√v ≤ 2.9 (mm1/2∙s1/2).
