Rolling of the sintered powder ribbons is needed to remove residual porosity and impart the required mechanical properties to the Cu–Fe material. The rolling of powder ribbons results in elongation of the iron powder particles in the rolling direction. This structure of the Cu–Fe material produced from reduced iron powder is shown in Fig. 2b.
