Abstract
An iron-based powder composition for metal injection molding having an average particle size of 20-60 μm, and having 99% of the particles less than 120 μm wherein the iron-based powder composition includes, by weight percent of the iron-based powder composition: Mo: 0.3-1.6, P: 0.1-0.6, optionally Cu: up to 3.0, optionally Si: up to 0.6, optionally Cr: up to 5, optionally, unavoidable impurities: up to 1.0, whereof carbon is less than 0.1, the balance being iron, and wherein the sum of Mo and 8*P content is within the range of 2-4.7.
