Abstract:
Embodiments of wear resistant ferrous alloys are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, ferrous alloys can have a matrix which includes near spherical and hypereutectic borides and/or borocarbides while at the same time avoiding the formation of rod-like borides and/or borocarbides. In some embodiments, the wear resistant ferrous alloys can be used as a coating, such as a hardfacing layer, to add protection to different components.
Abstract:
Embodiments of alloys having high, fine-grained carbide content, and methods of manufacturing such alloys. The alloys can be determined through the use of thermodynamic, microstructural, and compositional criterial in order to create a high strength and high toughness alloy. In some embodiments, the alloys can be used as a wear resistant component.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are embodiments of hardfacing/hardbanding materials, alloys, or powder compositions that can have low chromium content or be chromium free. In some embodiments, the alloys can contain transition metal borides and borocarbides with a particular metallic component weight percentage. The disclosed alloys can have high hardness and ASTM G65 performance, making them advantageous for hardfacing/hardbanding applications.
