Abstract:
Metallic alloys and methods for the preparation of free-standing metallic materials in a layerwise manner. The resulting layerwise construction provides a metallic skeleton of selected porosity which may be infiltrated with a second metal to provide a free-standing material that has a volume loss of less than or equal to 130 mm3 as measured according to ASTM G65-04 (2010).
Abstract:
The invention provides a cold work tool material which can obtain a high hardness over a wide range of tempering temperatures, and a method of manufacturing a cold work tool with the cold work tool material. The cold work tool material has an annealed structure including carbides, and has a composition including, in mass%, C: 0.80% to 2.40%, Cr: 5.0% to 15.0%, Mo and W contained alone or in combination in an amount of (Mo + 1/2W): 0.50% to 3.00%, and V: 0.10 to 1.50%, and adjusted such that the material has a martensitic structure by quenching. The cold work tool material includes a cross sectional region of an annealed structure, the region having a length of 90 µm and a width of 90 µm and including no carbides having a circle equivalent diameter exceeding 5.0 µm. In the cross sectional region, a proportion of a number of carbides B having a circle equivalent diameter of more than 0.1 µm and not more than 0.4 µm to a number of carbides A having a circle equivalent diameter of exceeds 0.1 µm and not more than 2.0 µm is greater than 80.0%. The method of manufacturing a cold work tool includes a step of quenching and tempering the above cold work tool material.

Abstract:
In one aspect, methods of making cladded articles are described herein. A method of making a cladded article, in some embodiments, comprises disposing over a surface of a metallic substrate a sheet comprising organic binder and powder metal or powder alloy having a solidus temperature at least 100°C less than the metallic substrate and heating the powder metal or powder alloy to provide a sintered metal or sintered alloy cladding metallurgically bonded to the metallic substrate.
Abstract:
