  • Wear-resistant molybdenum-iron boride alloy and method of making same
    Patent number: 4235630
    Abstract: A wear-resistant, molybdenum-iron boride alloy (10) has a microstructure of a primary boride phase (12) and a matrix phase (14). The primary boride phase (12) comprises molybdenum alloyed with iron and boron, and the matrix phase (14) comprises one of iron-boron in iron and iron-molybdenum in iron and has a hardness less than that of the primary boride phase (12). The subject alloy finds particular utility in a composite material on a ground-engaging tool such as a cutting edge or ripper tooth, and can also be used for wear-resistant coatings, machine tool inserts, bearings, and the like.
