Abstract

A powder compression molding method for producing a multilayer powder compression molded article having a plurality of different material layers disposed in a compression direction utilizes relative movements between an upper punch, a lower punch, a die having a step formed therein, and two feed shoes. The powder compression molded article thus formed requires a reduced amount of a special layer. The powder compression molding method includes forming a first space by moving the die relative to the lower punch, introducing a first powder into the first space through a first feed shoe, lowering the lower punch relative to the die to form a second space so that an upper surface of the first powder on the step of the die and on the lower punch has a nonuniform height, introducing a second powder into the second space, and moving the upper punch towards the lower punch to compress the first and second powders.
