The present invention relates to a composition comprising certain iron alloy particles (A2) in combination with other high melting alloy particles (A1), in particular high speed steels and cobalt-based alloys, the iron alloy particles (A2) having a lower melting point than the high melting alloy particles (A1). The use of the particles (A2) in a sintering manufacturing allows broadening the process window and to obtain sintered parts having a high density, high hardness and high strength under various process conditions. This is particular useful for the PM manufacture of high melting alloys such as tool steel (including high speed steel (HSS)), which are otherwise difficult to process.

Abstract

The present invention relates to particles made from a High Speed Steel (HSS) that is modified to contain dispersed precipitations of manganese sulfide (MHSS), and to a Powder Metallurgy (PM) method using the same. It also relates to a part produced by the PM process using the modified HSS particles. It has been found that by forming a melt of a HSS and 1 ) Mn or a Mn-containing compound and 2) S or an S-containing compound, followed by an atomization process, modified HSS particle can be obtained containing dispersed sulfide precipitations containing mainly manganese sulfide. The amount of Mn and S are chosen such that the weight ratio of Mn to S (Mn/S), in wt-% of the total weight of the particle, is in the range of 8.0 - 1.0, preferably 5.5 to 3.0, such as from 5.5 to 3.5 or from 5.5 to 4.1. An article obtained by a PM manufacturing method using the particles has improved machinability as compared to a an article prepared from a corresponding non-modified HSS to which 1) Mn or a Mn-containing compound and 2) S or an S-containing compound were not added. Surprisingly, the physical properties of the article obtained from the modified HSS particles are not or not significantly impaired as compared to an article that is prepared from corresponding non-modified HSS particles.

Abstract

The invention relates to powder metallurgy, in particular production of tungsten monocarbide spherical powders, which is a major component of metalloceramic hard alloys used for manufacture of tools, drill bits, steel alloying, wear- resistant coating cladding at elements operating in intensive wear conditions. The method includes melting of the starting material, and melt atomization with forming of spherical powder. As starting material a tungsten monocarbide grit is used. Melting and atomization of the material is implemented by continuous filling of grit into a rotating crucible of a centrifugal atomization device under an inert atmosphere and melting it by a plasma arc. After that an annealing of the obtained powder is made at a temperature of 1200-1400°C during a time necessary for W2C breakup with subsequent cooling of the powder in a furnace. The invention is directed to production of tungsten monocarbide spherical powder with WC content of more than 70 %.

Abstract

The applicant have found that a laser cladding or plasma transferred arc overlay welding process may be used advantageously to apply and to control the material properties of a coating designed for protecting the substrate against wear, corrosion and oxidation at elevated temperature. Furthermore, a laser cladding or plasma transferred arc overlay welding process may be used to apply the coating alloy materials in applications where traditional thermal spray or weld-applied coatings are not practical. By using these welding methods very good bonding is achieved by fusion during welding. At the same time the properties of the clad layer is preserved by the limited dilution typical of these two welding methods compared traditional overlay welding, by e.g. Gas Tungsten Arc Welding and the like.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of producing a diffusion alloyed powder consisting of an iron or iron-based core powder having particles of an alloying powder containing Cu and Ni bonded to the surface of the core particles, comprising providing a unitary alloying powder capable of forming particles of a Cu and Ni containing alloy, mixing the unitary alloying powder with the core powder, and heating the mixed powders in a non-oxidizing or reducing atmosphere to a temperature of 500–1000 ˚C during a period of 10–120 minutes to convert the alloying powder into a Cu and Ni containing alloy, so as to diffusion bond particles of the Cu and Ni alloy to the surface of the iron or iron-based core powder. The alloying powder may be a Cu and Ni alloy, oxide, carbonate or other suitable compound that on heating will form a Cu and Ni alloy. Preferably, the total content of Cu and Ni is at most 20wt%, the particle size distribution of the Cu and Ni alloying powder is such that D50 is less than 15 μm, and the ratio Cu/Ni in wt% is between 9/1 and 3/1. The compacted and sintered parts produced from the diffusion alloyed iron-based powder of the invention present a minimum of variation of dimensional change from component to component.
