Abstract:
A slurry pump component is disclosed. The slurry pump component may have a base member fabricated from white iron, and a cladding surface made of a wear resistant material disposed in a tool steel matrix on the base member. The wear resistant material may have a melting point of greater than about 3000° C.
Abstract:
A valve for use in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The valve includes a stem connected to a fillet disposed between the stem and a seat face. A port receives the stem and accommodates a seat insert that engages the seat face when the valve is in a closed position. The seat insert is fabricated from a non-cobalt-based alloy or an iron-based alloy and the seat face is coated with a cobalt-based alloy or a nickel-based alloy. The coating may be applied using a thermal spray process, such as HVOF.
Abstract:
A slurry pump component includes a base member with a cladding surface. The cladding surface includes a brazing alloy inner layer, a ductile intermediate layer and a wear resistant outer layer.
