Abstract: A metallic material includes at least iron, carbon, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, which metallic material has a bainitic basic structure and carbidic phases. The carbidic phases are at least partially formed by molybdenum carbide, vanadium carbide and/or chromium carbide. The carbidic phases at least partially have a diameter no greater than 200 nm.

Abstract: A backflow blocking arrangement is for an injection unit of an injection molding machine having a plasticising screw with a front end for carrying the backflow blocking arrangement. The arrangement has a screw tip, a blocking bush and a blocking sleeve each with a base body material. The screw tip has friction surfaces and the blocking bush and the blocking sleeve each have sealing and friction surfaces. At least one of the friction and sealing surfaces is formed by a protective layer made of a fusion metallurgical compound of the base body material plus an additive. The additive is any one or more of a metal, a carbide, a carbonitride, a boride, a carboboride, a silicide, a sulfide or an oxide. The screw tip includes a mixed layer between its base body material and its outer layer, that includes the additive. The mixed layer is thinner than the outer layer and both the outer layer and the mixed layer include base body material in specific proportions with the additive.

Abstract: To provide a process for coating substrate material in which coating material is ablated in an ablation region by a laser beam in a coating chamber containing a negative pressure, propagates in the form of a coating particle stream in the direction of the substrate material and is deposited on it in the form of a coating, with which substrate material can be coated in large quantities by laser ablation, it is proposed that the substrate material be flat material, that the flat material be passed continuously as a continuous strip through the coating chamber and coated under the negative pressure substantially maintained therein, and that the necessary coating material be fed to the coating chamber while the negative pressure is substantially maintained therein.
