Abstract: An apparatus and related method for cooling a hard metal applied in a molten or semi-molten state to the surface of a metal substrate employ a chill block chilled by a cryogenic coolant conducted through a coolant passage in the chill block with at least one ejector port in communication with the coolant passage arranged to eject cryogenic coolant from the chill block onto the hand metal for further cooling the hard metal. An alloy steel substrate preheated to 300 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit has a hard metal applied thereto by an arc welding process.

Abstract: Provided in one embodiment is a method for producing a composition, comprising: heating a first material comprising an amorphous alloy to a first temperature; and contacting the first material with a second material comprising at least one fiber to form a composition comprising the first material and the second material; wherein the first temperature is higher than or equal to a glass transition temperature (Tg) of the amorphous alloy.
Abstract: One embodiment provides a method of making a coating composition, the method comprising: contacting a first material comprising at least one first alloy comprising at least a first element and a second element with an interior surface of a second hollow material comprising at least one ferrous second alloy to form a preform; and heating at least a portion of the preform to promote intermixing of at least some of the first material and the second material to form the coating composition.
