In order to solve these problems, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-2077 proposes a production method by powder metallurgy using stainless steel powder. However, stainless steel powder has poor compressibility and low sintering density, and thus has poor corrosion resistance and magnetic properties. Also, the sinterability of the powder is better as the particle size of the powder is smaller, but the fluidity is poor, bridging tends to occur at the time of filling the mold,
In particular, when the component shape is complicated, uniform filling is difficult, and the dimensional accuracy of the sintered product is deteriorated. Also, there is a problem that the powder enters the gaps between the molds, damages the molds, and shortens the mold life. .

[0010] Cr (chromium) in the raw material powder is essential for imparting corrosion resistance, but it is important to specify the content. Normally, increasing the amount of Cr is effective in terms of corrosion resistance, but from the viewpoint of magnetic properties, the amount of Fe is relatively reduced to cause a reduction in magnetic flux density. Is preferred. That is, as the raw material powder for the sintered soft magnetic stainless steel, it is effective to improve the magnetic properties by limiting the amount of Cr to the minimum addition that can maintain the corrosion resistance. In the present invention, the amount of Cr is set to 7% by mass to 15% by mass. The reason for this is that the corrosion resistance is reduced when the Cr content is less than 7% by mass from the examination and examination, so the lower limit is set to at least 7% by mass or more. At the same time, the upper limit is set to 15% by mass or less, which is optimum in relation to the magnetic properties because the magnetic flux density is reduced due to the decrease in Fe content in the matrix. If the amount of Cr exceeds 15% by mass, the magnetic flux density is significantly reduced, and the deterioration of magnetic properties is inevitable. Further, the upper limit of the Cr content is particularly preferably 11.5% by mass or less from the viewpoint of magnetic properties.

[0011] Si (silicon) in the raw material powder is effective for corrosion resistance and has the effect of increasing the electrical resistance to improve the responsiveness of the solenoid valve, reducing iron loss and increasing the specific resistance and the magnetic permeability. is there. However, if a large amount of Si is provided as a solid solution in the raw material powder, the powder is hardened and the compressibility is impaired. From this, in the present invention, the soft magnetic stainless steel fine powder S
The i amount is set to be 1.0% by mass or more in order to supplement the corrosion resistance due to the reduction of Cr and increase the specific resistance and the magnetic permeability. As for the upper limit, the content is limited to 4% by mass in order to secure the compressibility of the powder. In order to further exert the above-mentioned action, it is also possible to add Si in a larger amount without impairing the compressibility of the soft magnetic stainless steel fine powder by giving Si from the outside of the soft magnetic stainless steel fine powder as Si fine powder. it can. However, if the Si content in the overall composition exceeds 6.5% by mass, the magnetic flux density is greatly reduced due to the decrease in Fe content, and the magnetic properties are deteriorated, and the toughness of the sintered product is impaired.
For this reason, the upper limit of the Si content is limited to 6.5% by mass in terms of the amount of Si in the granulated powder.

It is also possible to use Fe-Si fine powder instead of the above Si powder. Fe-Si fine powder has a lower hardness than Si powder, so that compressibility is improved. However, when Fe-Si fine powder having a Si content of less than 10% by mass is used, a necessary amount of Si is added to secure the necessary Si content. This is not preferable because the amount of Fe-Si increases to lower the corrosion resistance of the matrix and the magnetic properties. Therefore, the Fe-Si fine powder is specified to have a Si content of at least 10% by mass or more.

Al is used for the purpose of improving corrosion resistance, improving magnetic properties by increasing specific resistance, and providing cold workability by improving toughness. It is contained in. However, Al is an element that is easily oxidized, and when given as a solid solution in powder, a strong oxide film is easily formed on the powder surface, which is a factor that hinders the progress of sintering. Requires heating in a high vacuum. In the present invention, the effect of eliminating factors that hinder the progress of sintering is greater than the effect of improving the toughness required for processing because powder metallurgy is used to manufacture products in the near net shape. In addition, since the corrosion resistance is ensured by the above-mentioned Cr and the specific resistance is also ensured by the above-mentioned Si, it is necessary to omit Al content in order to avoid a decrease in magnetic flux density due to a decrease in Fe content. Mandatory from the perspective of improvement. However, in the present invention, Al is sometimes added as a deoxidizing agent in the molten metal during powder production, and the content of Al that remains in the powder as an unavoidable impurity does not affect the sinterability and is naturally acceptable.

And carbides or nitrides are formed and rendered harmless, thereby contributing to the improvement of corrosion resistance and magnetic properties. However, when the Ti content is increased, the problem of narrowing or clogging of the nozzle of the molten metal by the atomizing method occurs, and when the Nb content is increased, the hardness of the powder increases and the compressibility decreases. In addition, a large amount of Ti or Nb causes crystal grains to be refined, thereby deteriorating magnetic properties.

Tables 1 and 2 show that the test pieces (inventions 1 to 5) using the granulated powder obtained by granulating the soft magnetic stainless steel fine powder corresponding to the present invention have good corrosion resistance and excellent magnetic properties. It turns out that there is. Among the comparative examples, in the test piece using a powder having a normal size (Comparative Example 4), the sintering density ratio did not increase, and a decrease in corrosion resistance and a decrease in magnetic flux density were observed. Similarly, in the test piece (Comparative Example 1) in which granulation was not performed even when the fine powder was used, the sintering density ratio did not increase, and a decrease in corrosion resistance and a decrease in magnetic flux density were observed. The test piece with a small Cr content (Comparative Example 2) has poor corrosion resistance and generates rust. On the other hand, the test piece with too much Si (Comparative Example 3) had poor powder compressibility,
As the sintering density ratio decreases, a decrease in magnetic flux density and a decrease in AC magnetic characteristics on the high frequency side are observed. That is, from Example 1, the granulated powder obtained by granulating the soft magnetic stainless steel fine powder of the present invention was used.
The advantage of specifying the mass% of Si and Si is apparent.

In Tables 3 and 4, when the test piece 4 of the present invention is compared with the test pieces 6 and 7, the addition of Si increases the magnetic flux density and magnetic permeability, and decreases the coercive force and iron loss.
The effect of improving the magnetic properties is recognized. In addition, although the test piece 8 of the present invention using Fe-10Si instead of Si powder has the same magnetic flux density, an increase in coercive force and magnetic permeability and a decrease in iron loss are recognized, and it can be seen that magnetic properties can be improved. But,
In the test piece (Comparative Example 6) using a powder having a large average particle diameter of Si of 76 μm, the sintered density ratio was not improved, corrosion resistance was reduced, rust was generated, and iron loss was reduced. In addition, Si
In the test piece using Fe-5Si (Comparative Example 5) instead of the above, a large amount of F was used in order to equalize the amount of Si in the entire composition.
e-5Si is required, and as a result, there are too many portions having poor corrosion resistance, and the corrosion resistance is deteriorated and rust is generated. Also, the sintered density ratio and the magnetic properties are all reduced. From the above, it can be confirmed that the magnetic properties can be further improved by adding the Si powder fine powder to the soft magnetic stainless steel fine powder of the present invention and granulating them together. Also, it can be confirmed that the same effect can be obtained by using Fe—Si fine powder having a Si content of 10% by mass or more instead of Si fine powder. Further, the test piece 9 of the present invention having an Si content of 6.5% in the whole composition has a maximum magnetic permeability and lower iron loss and exhibits excellent magnetic properties as compared with the test pieces 4 and 6 of the present invention. Since the magnetic flux density decreases as the amount increases, the test piece with 6.9% Si in the overall composition (Comparative Example 7) shows a remarkable decrease in magnetic flux density, and the magnetic permeability also significantly increases when the Si content exceeds 6.5%. It can be confirmed that it decreases.

As described above, in the raw material powder for sintered soft magnetic stainless steel and the production method using the same according to the present invention, in particular, by optimizing the amounts of Cr and Si, the corrosion resistance is maintained. The powder characteristics such as fluidity of the powder are obtained by preventing a decrease in magnetic flux density and further granulating stainless steel fine powder, and granulating by adding Si which impairs compressibility as external addition as in claim 2. And good formability are improved, and a soft magnetic stainless steel with high density, high specific resistance and high magnetic flux density and low iron loss can be manufactured.
