摘要

A composite metal sintered article combining a metal shell which has been electroformed and/or electroless plated and/or vapor deposited, positioned inside or outside of a metal sintered compact. A method of making the composite metal sintered article using both a powder metallurgy process and a surface treating process. This composite metal sintered article has excellent surface properties and high dimensional accuracy and is favorably used for many kinds of forming molds, dies and structural members, especially for press molds in making glassware.
