A mixed powder for powder metallurgy includes a machinability improvement powder that is crystalline layered alkaline silicate heat-treated at 400° C. to 1100° C. and whose mix proportion is in an amount of 0.01% to 1.0% by mass in terms of total content of an iron-based powder, an alloying powder, and the machinability improvement powder. Such a mixed powder not only enables a compact to be sintered without adversely affecting the environment in a sintering furnace, but also enables a sintered body having excellent lathe machinability and excellent drill machinability to be obtained. |
