  • Composite suction liners and applications thereof
    Patent number: 10578123
    Abstract: Composite suction liners and associated centrifugal pump architectures are described herein which, in some embodiments, provide enhanced operating lifetimes under abrasive slurry conditions. For example, a composite suction liner includes a suction liner substrate and a monolithic cladding metallurgically bonded to a face of the suction liner substrate, the monolithic cladding comprising metal matrix composite including a hard particle phase dispersed in matrix metal or alloy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 3, 2020
    Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.

  • Cutting elements with increased toughness and thermal fatigue resistance for drilling applications
    Patent number: 7832506
    Abstract: Cutting elements offering increased toughness and thermal fatigue resistance can be formed of a wear resistant material having coarse grains disposed in a binder matrix with a binder content of at least about 18% by weight. The coarse grains include grains of at least one selected from the group of a transition metal carbide, a transition metal boride, and transition metal nitride. The binder content and coarse grain size may be selected to provide a Rockwell A hardness of at least about 75 Ra or a wear number of at least about 1.5.
