Abstract
Hard particles are provided containing 20 to 70% of Mo, 0.5 to 3% of C, 5 to 40% of Ni, 1 to 20% of Mn, a balance in Fe, and impurities, where % represents percentage by mass, and may further contain at least one of 40% or less of Co, 0.1 to 10% of Cr, and 4% or less of Si. A wear resistant iron-based sintered alloy contains 4 to 30% of Mo, 0.2 to 3% of C, 1 to 20% of Ni, 0.5 to 12% of Mn, a balance in Fe, and impurities, with respect to the total mass of the iron-based sintered alloy as represented by 100%. In the sintered alloy, the base contains 0.2 to 5% of C, 0.1 to 12% of Mn, a balance in Fe, and impurities, with respect to the total mass of the base, and the hard particles contain 20 to 70% of Mo, 0.5 to 3% of C, 5 to 40% of Ni, 1 to 20% of Mn, a balance in Fe, and impurities, with respect to the total mass of the hard particles. The hard particles are dispersed in the base with an area ratio of 0.10 to 0.60. A method to produce a wear resistant sintered alloy of the above composition is also provided.
