A method of making sintered components made from an iron-based powder composition and the sintered component per se. The method is especially suited for producing components which will be subjected to wear at elevated temperatures, consequently the components consists of a heat resistant stainless steel with hard phases including chromium carbo-nitrides. Examples of such components are parts in turbochargers for internal combustion engines.

It has been unexpected found that the machinability and corrosion resistance of powder metal parts can be greatly improved by incorporating calcium aluminoferrite powder, such as naturally occurring brownmillerite powder (Ca.sub.2(Al,Fe).sub.2O.sub.5), into the part. Improved machinability is of enormous value in manufacturing countless parts where it is necessary or desirable to machine the part after it has been sintered, such as is frequently the case with gears, rotors and sprockets. In the practice of this invention, calcium aluminoferrite powder can also be incorporated into parts which will not necessarily be machined for the sole purpose of attaining better corrosion resistance. Surprisingly, the incorporation of the calcium aluminoferrite powder into such parts does not significantly compromise the strength, durability, or wear characteristics of the part and generally improves the service life of the part by providing better corrosion resistance.

A gear includes a sintered body, in which Fe is contained as a principal component, Ni is contained in a proportion of 2 mass % or more and 20 mass % or less, Si is contained in a proportion of 0.3 mass % or more and 5.0 mass % or less, C is contained in a proportion of 0.005 mass % or more and 0.3 mass % or less, and one element selected from the group consisting of Ti, V, Y, Zr, Nb, Hf, and Ta is defined as a first element, that is contained in a proportion of 0.01 mass % or more and 0.7 mass % or less.

The disclosure discloses a NdFeB permanent magnet and a preparation method thereof. The magnet is composed of main phase I, a shell structure, a grain boundary phase adjacent to the shell structure, a main phase II, a Ga rich region and a Cu rich region. The magnet has high remanence, high coercivity, and high magnetic energy. In addition, this method can significantly reduce the production cost.
