Abstract
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 (Ca2(Al,Fe)2O5), 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.
