Powder metallurgy ferrous precision parts are employed in numerous industrial sectors. In case of high mechanical loading, as e. g. in automotive applications, heat treatment is frequently required after the press-and-sinter manufacturing. Here the specific features of PM parts have to be considered, in particular the presence of open and/or graded porosity. In the present study it is shown that processes such as sinter hardening, low pressure carburizing and plasma nitriding are particularly suited for sintered parts since the problems usually caused by the porosity can largely be avoided. By appropriate selection of the alloying system combined with optimum sintering and heat treatment, components can be obtained that are competitive to parts machined from wrought steels but offer additional benefits such as attractive NVH (noise-vibration-harshness) behavior.
