| Synopsis: About 78% of iron powder manufactured is used for sintered parts for transportation machines mainly for automobiles in Japan. Research and development have focused on improvement in fundamental properties as well as the productivity of manufacturing sintered parts. Kawasaki Steel, as a major manufacturer of iron powder, has developed new types of powder products for the 10 years to bring to meet the above mentioned demands. This report introduced three typical products: (1) Highly flowable segregation-free iron powder using wax lubricant, (2) Segregation-free iron powder suppressing copper powder segregation and (3) Iron powder for the enhanced machinability of sintered parts containing free graphite. |
