Method of producing a sintered body
First Claim
1. A method of producing without subsequent mechanical treatment a composite sintered body having different cross-sectional configurations and different dimensions at different locations along a main axis and good dimensional accuracy by compression molding a sintering powder in the direction of the main axis and subsequently sintering, comprising the steps of:
- (a) compression molding from a sintering powder at least two partial bodies, each one of the partial bodies having a simpler geometric shape than the composite sintered body and improved uniform density distribution and forming a different axial portion of the sintered body, the partial bodies being shaped so that they may be form-fitted into each other in the direction of the main axis,(b) form-fitting the separately compression molded partial bodies into each other in the direction of the main axis to join them, and(c) jointly sintering the joined partial bodies to produce the composite sintered body.

Abstract
A method of producing a sintered body (1) having different cross-sections along a main axis (5), in particular a toothed-belt or chain wheel, by compression moulding a sintering powder in the direction of the main axis (5) and subsequent sintering. At least two partial bodies (6, 7), which can be form-fitted into each other in the direction of the main axis (5), are pressed from sintering powder, which partial bodies each form an axial portion of the sintered body (1) with different cross-sections, and that the separately pressed and possibly presintered partial bodies (6, 7) are jointly sintered after joining them together.
