The advantages of low-alloy sintered materials produced from iron-copp
er master alloy are confirmed. Physical and technological properties o
f the master alloy powders are determined. Experiments show that mixtu
res of iron, graphite, and iron-copper powders compact well to produce
high-quality articles. Sintered materials have strength values (sigma
(f) similar to 345 MPa, HB similar to 1430 MPa) comparable with those
of similar materials produced using electrolytic copper.
