The processes of P/M affect the properties of sintered gears. The different techniques of P/M lead to the different properties of sintered gears. This paper summarizes new progress in powder metallurgy for sintered gears. These progresses include warm compaction, high velocity compaction, sinter hardening, high temperature sintering, infiltration, CNC powder press and surface densification etc.

In this paper, the Fe-9Si-6Al soft magnetic composite has been prepared via powder particles coated with aluminum oxide and silicone. The magnetic properties and microstructure of Fe-Si-Al SMC has been investigated. Results showed that the powder particles surface contained a thin insulating layer made of aluminum oxide and silicone. After annealed at 800°C for 60min, the particles of component are all by themselves and the insulating layer is not destroyed. The Fe-Si-Al SMC has excellent magnetic properties. The magnetic permeability is steady with the frequency changing at 5kHz-100kHz range.
