Advances in the understanding of sintering of powder mixtures contributed significantly to the growth of ferrous powder metallurgy industry. Solid-state sintering and liquid-phase activated sintering play an important role in the sintering of powder mixtures. In this paper, sintering of iron powder with graphite; iron powder with copper and graphite; iron powder with nickel and graphite; iron powder with phosphorus; and iron powder with boron is discussed. Mechanical properties of the sintered parts are presented along with application of these parts.
