Abstract: A method of manufacturing a corrosion- and wear-resistant component and a corrosion- and wear-resistant component. The method includes preparing a feedstock powder that includes a stainless steel powder and a ceramic powder, sintering the feedstock powder at a first temperature to form a low porosity free-standing wear body, and bonding the wear body to an aluminum or aluminum alloy substrate at a second temperature lower than the first temperature.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a powder feedstock, such as for bulk welding, which can produce welds. The powder feedstock can include high levels of boron, and may be improved over previously used cored wires. Coatings can be formed from the powder feedstock which may have high hardness in certain embodiments, and low mass loss under ASTM standards.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to alloys having high corrosion resistance and high wear resistance. In particular, example embodiments relate to an iron-based alloy including 20 wt % to 50 wt % Cr; 0 wt % to 15 wt % Mo; 0 wt % to 15 wt % W; 3 wt % to 6 wt % B; and a balance of iron and impurities. In example embodiments, the pitting resistance equivalent number (PREN) is greater than 30 at 1300 K under substantially equilibrium solidification conditions. In example embodiments, the mole fraction of a hard phase of the alloy is between 45% and 80% at 1300K under substantially equilibrium solidification conditions. The liquidus of the alloy may be less than 2000K under substantially equilibrium solidification conditions.
