- the “raw material powders having different component compositions” in the present invention are not limited to powders of the same type (for example, iron-based powders having different alloy components), but powders of different types (for example, metal powder and ceramic powder). But good.
- the particle diameter of the raw material powder is not limited, it is preferable that the particle diameter does not cause clogging of the injection hole of the gas introduction pipe. In addition, it is preferable to select the particle size of the raw material powder from the viewpoints of handleability, filling property, formability, sinterability, and the like.
- the flow resistance inherent in the raw material powder differs depending on the type of the raw material powder. Therefore, It is necessary to appropriately adjust the amount of gas ejected in the powder chamber according to the type of raw material powder and the like.
- the inventor has confirmed that an air rate value can be used as an index correlated with the flow resistance.
- the air rate value is the ratio Vg / Vp (1 / s) of the gas flow rate Vg (ml / s) injected into the powder chamber to the volume Vp (m1) of the raw material powder in the powder chamber.
- the air rate value is too small, it is difficult to adjust the fluidity between the raw material powders, and it is not possible to fill the cavity without mixing the raw material powders. If the air value is too large, foaming will occur from the upper surface of the raw material powder in the powder chamber, causing fine powder and the like to fly, making it impossible to uniformly fill the raw material powder. Therefore, it is advisable to set the air rate value in a range that does not occur.
- the appropriate air rate value can relate not only to the composition of the raw powder but also to its particle size.

- the gas blown into the powder chamber is preferably a gas that does not oxidize raw material powder such as dry air and inert gas (N2, He, Ar, etc.). Further, the raw material powder may be heated or kept at a desired temperature by appropriately blowing out a heating gas.
- the gas needs to be ejected when the raw material powder is filled into the cavity from the powder chamber. Therefore, if the ejection timing is set only when filling the cavity, the amount of gas used can be saved. On the other hand, when the gas is constantly ejected, the gas ejection control becomes easy.
- the powder box is composed of a plurality of powder chambers each having a bottom opening and storing a plurality of types of raw material powders having different component compositions.
- the shape and size of the powder room and powder box are determined in consideration of the shape and size of the mold and cavity. Accordingly, the powder box is not limited to a rectangular shape, but when the powder box is rectangular, a plurality of powder chambers can be easily formed by providing partitions at appropriate intervals. Needless to say, a plurality of powder boxes storing a single type of raw material powder may be collectively referred to as a “powder box” in the present invention.
- the opening formed at the bottom of the powder chamber is also determined in consideration of the shape of the powder box and the powder chamber, as well as the shape of the cavity. However, it is also possible to simply open the bottom of the rectangular powder box or powder chamber. Since this powder box is placed on a table, the raw material powder does not fall. When the powder box moves on the table and its bottom opening is over the cavity, the cavity is filled with the raw material powder. Furthermore, when the powder box moves, so-called raw powder is cut off.
- a partition (partition plate) for the powder chamber is provided in parallel with the moving direction. This makes it easier for each raw material powder to be filled into the cavity almost simultaneously. If the raw material powders are almost simultaneously filled into the cavity, the mixture of the raw material powders is further suppressed and prevented.

If it is formed into a streamline shape, the raw material powder will smoothly fall into the cavity. If it is circular, commercially available pipes can be used and it can be manufactured at low cost.
- the diameter of the gas introduction pipe, the number of arrangement, the arrangement interval, the arrangement method (parallel or alternate), etc. can also be selected as appropriate.
- the outer diameter D of the gas introduction pipe may be l mm ⁇ D ⁇ 3 mm.
- typical gas introduction pipes have injection holes on the outer peripheral side of those pipes. It is a digit.

- the injection hole diameter may be, for example, 10 m ⁇ d ⁇ 200 m.
- the injection holes having different diameters may be appropriately combined, or the number of the injection holes may be changed according to the position of the gas introduction pipe.
- Such injection holes are processed by, for example, machining (drill) or laser processing. However, if a material having air permeability (for example, mesh material) is used, drilling is not required.

Push-up filling means that the lower punch is divided and a temporary cavity is formed by lowering both punches, and then the raw material powder is filled into the temporary cavity. This is a filling method in which one of the punches is pushed up to make the cavity shape a desired shape.

- hot forging was performed at an average pressure of 800 MPa, followed by cooling in the air.
- a sintered connecting rod was also manufactured without forging, only the above-mentioned sintering. In this case, after sintering in the above-mentioned RX gas atmosphere, it was cooled at 100 ° C.Zmin.
- the center of the test piece should be the boundary between the two powders, and powder A' (low C powder) should be used.
- Tensile tests were carried out by attaching strain gauges to the powder side and powder B '(high C powder) side.
- the powder A, and in any case the connecting rod and the powder B 5 was prepared by mixing two layers, 0.2% ⁇ Ka in each portion is very similar to the connecting rod consisting only of powder used in each portion there were.
- the rupture stress was almost the same as that of a connecting rod made of low-strength low-carbon powder (powder A '). Therefore, it can be seen that the connecting rod manufactured using the method according to the present invention has two distinct layers without any mixture of various powders in each part, and each part is formed with a desired composition.
- Entity fatigue strength of the sintered forged connecting rod of mixing the two layers was the same as that of the sintered forged connecting rod comprising only high-carbon powder (powder B 5).
- This sintered forged connecting rod but has only one Ranaru partial low-carbon powder (powder A 5) in the big end or the small end, the small end side near to the main lesion site of the connecting rod mixed bilayer This is probably because the column was made of high carbon powder.
- the large end and the small end where the workability is required have a composition in which the amount of carbon is reduced, and the column portion where the high strength is required is a composition in which the amount of carbon is increased.
- the raw material powders having different component compositions can be charged into the cavity at once without being mixed. Further, according to the composite powder molding method or composite powder molding apparatus of the present invention, a molded body having a different component composition can be efficiently produced by using the filled composite powder.
