Abstract: Co-based cutting tool insert alloys having a wrought microstructure and 3-15% Mo, 25-35% Cr, 0.5-2.5% C. The presence of W is avoided, and held below 1%. The alloys have enhanced resistance to abrasive and corrosive attack, and are especially suited for manufacturing router bits, router cutters, shaper cutters, molder cutters, etc. for cutting wood in secondary cutting operations such as furniture making or other cutting inserts such as inserts for cutting optical fibers.

Abstract: A Co-based alloy comprising 13-16 wt % Cr, 20-30 wt % Mo, 2.2-3.2 wt % Si, and balance Co, with a Cr:Si ratio of between about 4.5 and about 7.5, a Mo:Si ratio of between about 9 and about 15, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance in both oxidizing and reducing acids.

Abstract: A Co-based saw tip for attachment to saw blades for cutting wood, the saw tip formed from an alloy containing Mo in an amount from about 4 to about 20% by weight, Cr, C, and the balance Co. Certain embodiments specifically avoid all W. The tip optionally further contains elements selected from the group consisting of Mn, Si, Ni, B and Fe.

Abstract: A metallic tube for transporting corrosive, abrasive, and erosive industrial flow streams. The tube has an outer tube material consisting of consolidated metallic powder bonded to an inner tube material consisting of a corrosion- or wear-resistant, weld- or spray-deposited material. The tube has a bend in it of at least about 45°, such as a U-bend, which would normally inhibit the weld- or spray-deposition of the corrosion- or wear-resistant inner tube material.

Abstract: A mold having a pair of mold halves defining a mold cavity for forming a glass container. There is an inner shell of the mold and an outer shell and a gap therebetween through which cooling gas flows. Heat transfer elements on the inner shell extend laterally outwardly from the inner shell into the gap for contact by cooling gas flowing through the gap thereby to cool the inner shell. The inner shell is formed from a hard material having a working temperature substantially greater than the melting temperature of glass, a heat conductivity of less than about 15 W/m-deg K, and a capability of generating at temperatures in excess of about 500.degree. C. a protective oxide film strongly adhered to the inner shell surface.

Abstract: A method for coating sports implements to improve the hardness and wear characteristics of the sports implement is disclosed. The method includes the steps of generating a high velocity gas stream directed at a sports implement and feeding a powder within the gas stream such that the powder contacts the sports implement to form a coating with high bond strength. Sports implements coated in accordance with the present method are also disclosed.

Abstract: A cavitation erosion resistant alloy comprising about 10 to 40 percent by weight of one or more carbide formers including some chromium, 5 to 15 percent by weight cobalt, 5 to 15 percent by weight manganese, 3.5 to 7.0 percent by weight silicon, 1.8 to 4.8 percent by weight nickel, 0.15 to 3.5 percent by weight carbon plus boron, up to 0.3 percent weight nitrogen and the balance being iron plus impurities.
