Abstract

In the present work, the ferrous components used in gear, and cam shaft were made by using Powder Metallurgy (PM) technique. Powder Metallurgy is a widely used technique for making harder materials which are difficult to make by other conventional processes. The five components were made by mixing iron, copper and carbon in different proportions by taking carbon composition constant. The fabricated components were characterized through microstructural investigation and microhardness tester. The microstructural study reveals the fabricated components were dense with no porosity. Microhardness test reveals that the sample number five has a maximum hardness as compared with other components produced through PM technique.

Keywords
