Abstract

A sintered gear comprises: plural tooth portion having a tooth flank and a tooth bottom land; a high density area formed over entire surface of the tooth portion, the high density area having a density of 7.6 Mg/m3 or more and formed with a depth of 1 mm or more from the surface; a low density area formed in deeper area than the high density area, the low density area having a density of 7.3 Mg/m3 or less; and an intermediate area formed between the high density area and the low density area, the intermediate area having a density gradient in which the density is gradually decreased from the high density area to the low density area.
