摘要:
A method for producing iron-silicon alloy articles having an improved combination of hot workability and electrical properties; the method comprises taking a molten alloy mass of an iron-silicon alloy from which the article is to be made and gas atomizing it to form alloy particles which are quickly cooled to solidification temperature. These alloy particles are then hot isostatically pressed to form a substantially fully dense article. The fully dense article is then hot rolled to sheet form suitable for example for use as laminates in the manufacture of transformer cores.
摘要:
A powder metallurgy article, e.g., a hot working roll or tool or a high toughness cold work tool such as a shear blade or slitter knife, formed from compacted prealloyed powder of an alloy consiting of, in weight percent, manganese 0.2 to 1.5, silicon 2 max., chromium 1.5 to 6, molybdenum 0.50 to 6, sulfur 0.30 max., vanadium 7 to 10, carbon expressed by the formula (.25 minimum, .40 maximum + .16 x percent vanadium), optical carbide forming elements such as tungsten and niobium in amounts up to 5 percent (with the corresponding stoichiometric carbon required for balance) may partially replace vanadium, optional cobalt additions may be included for heat resistance and balance iron and incidental impurities; the article is characterised by a fully martensitic structure with essentially no carbon in the steel matrix in excess of the carbon necessary to combine with the vanadium present to form vanadium carbides and to ensure said fully martensitic structure.
摘要:
An Fe-Ni-based alloy that has improved wear resistance at high temperature over Ni-based superalloys is provided. The alloy is particularly useful for manufacturing engine exhaust valves and other high temperature engine components subjected to corrosion, wear and oxidation.
摘要:
An induction melting apparatus for the manufacture of gas atomized titanium powder that is free from contamination characteristic of conventional melting practices. The apparatus comprises a segmented, water-cooled bottom plate with an orifice, constructed of a metal matrix composite material of compacted copper and iron powder. The bottom plate and the induction coil co-act to produce a uniform magnetic field in said orifice.
摘要:
Two P/M versions of the Superalloy 706 have been produced by argon and nitrogen atomization. Both have a very fine and homogeneous microstructure with grain sizes of ASTM No. 6 to 12 depending on thermo-mechanical treatment. The compacted P/M 706 contains discrete titanium-, niobium- and titanium-niobium-carbonitride compounds which pin grain boundaries during thermo-mechanical treatment. Nitrogen-atomized P/M 706 contains more frequent and larger carbonitrides that argon-atomized P/M 706. P/M 706 shows very moderate grain growth even after annealing at temperatures up to 2200°F due to grain boundary pinning by the carbonitride precipitates. Due to its higher content of precipitates, nitrogen-atomized P/M 706 has a finer grain size than argon-atomized P/M 706.

摘要:
A powder-metallurgy produced high-speed steel article having a combination of high hardness and wear resistance, particularly at elevated temperatures. This combination of properties is achieved by the combination of W, Mo, V, and Co. The article is particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of gear cutting tools, such as hobs, and surface coatings.
摘要:
A consolidated, fully dense, high yield strength, austenitic stainless steel and article produced therefrom having improved pitting resistance and a low sigma solvus temperature. The article is produced from nitrogen gas atomized prealloyed particles. The steel and article have a high nitrogen content for increased strength and corrosion resistance.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for loading tool steel and high speed steel powder to a deformable mold (14) for compacting is disclosed. The particles are exposed to a uniform vacuum during transfer from a sealed container (10) through a sealed conduit (12) and into a sealed deformable mold (14). By this method and apparatus, the particles are uniform throughout the container (14) and substantially free of impurities, without requiring conventional outgassing.
摘要:
Titanium is induction melted to produce a molten mass thereof and a water-cooled crucible (10) have a nonoxidizing atmosphere and a bottom opening (22). The current to the coil (30) used for induction melting is adjusted to produce a levitation effect on the molten mass (34) in the crucible (10) to prevent the molten mass (34) from flowing out of the bottom opening (22). The molten mass (34) is also maintained out-of-contact with the crucible (10) by providing a solidified layer (36) of titanium between the molten mass (34) and the crucible (10). After production of the molten mass (34) of titanium, the current to the induction coil (30) is reduced to reduce the levitation effect and allow the molten mass (34) to flow out of the bottom opening (22) of the crucible (10) as a free-falling stream (38) of molten titanium. The free-falling stream (38) from the crucible is directed to a tundish (48) from which the molten mass flows through a nozzle (54) for atomization. The spherical particles (42) produced by atomization are cooled to solidify them and are then collected.
