Abstract: A cutting tool comprising a blade portion having a sharpened edge area and a body portion, wherein the body portion comprises a casted metal or a ceramic, wherein the sharpened edge area comprises at least 50% by volume of amorphous alloy material, the amorphous alloy material being limited to the sharpened edge area, and a method of forming the cutting tool having a blade portion having a sharpened edge and a body portion. The body portion is formed from a metal or a ceramic and the sharpened edge includes an amorphous alloy material thereon, is described. The sharpened edge area may have at least 50% by volume of amorphous alloy material. The amorphous alloy may be chromium-based, iron-based, or zirconium-based. A thickness of the amorphous alloy material on the sharpened edge may be between approximately 2 to 5 microns.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a composition, the composition comprising: an alloy that is at least partially amorphous and is represented by a chemical formula: (Zr, Ti)aMbNcSnd, wherein: M is at least one transition metal element; N is Al, Be, or both; a, b, c, and d each independently represents an atomic percentage; and a is from about 30 to 70, b is from about 25 to 60, c is from about 5 to 30, and d is from about 0.1 to 5.

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.
