The present invention relates to a powder for the powder metallurgical manufacture of components. Particularly the invention concerns an iron or iron based powder intended for the powder metallurgical manufacturing of components. It is especially suitable for manufacturing of components wherein self-lubricating properties are desired. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing a component from said powder and an accordingly produced component. A diffusion-bonded powder according to the invention comprises iron or iron-based particles, and particles diffusion-bonded to the iron or iron-based particles. The said particles diffusion-bonded to the iron or iron-based particles comprise an alloy of Cu and 5% to 15% by weight of Sn. A component according to the invention is at least partly formed from such a diffusion-bonded powder. |
