Abstract: A method for manufacturing a wear resistant component, includes the steps of: providing a mould defining at least a portion of the component; providing a powder mixture comprising a first powder of tungsten carbide and a second powder of a cobalt-based alloy, wherein the powder mixture comprises 30-70 vol % of the first powder of tungsten carbide and 70-30 vol % of the second powder of the cobalt-based alloy and the second powder of cobalt-based alloy comprises 20-35 wt % Cr, 0-20 wt % W, 0-15 wt % Mo, 0-10 wt % Fe, 0.05-4 wt % C and balance Co, wherein the amounts of W and Mo fulfills the requirement 4<W+Mo<20; filling the mould with the powder mixture; and subjecting the mould to Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) at a predetermined temperature, a predetermined isostatic pressure and for a predetermined time so that the particles of the powder mixture bond metallurgically to each other.

Abstract: An impeller vane includes at least a first metallic core material and at least a first wear resistant material, wherein the hardness of the at least first wear resistant material exceeds the hardness of the at least first metallic core material. The impeller vane consists of a plurality of layers of the at least first metallic core material and the at least first wear resistant material, wherein the layers extend from a leading edge of the impeller vane to the trailing edge of the impeller vane and are arranged alternatingly throughout the cross section of the impeller vane. An impeller includes at least one of the above impeller vanes. The invention also relates to methods for manufacturing an impeller vane and an impeller having such.

Abstract: A method for producing a high speed steel that with reference to its chemical composition consists of the following elements: 1-3 wt-% carbon (C), 3-6 wt-% chromium (Cr), 0-7 wt-% molybdenum (Mo), 0-15 wt-% tungsten (W), 3-14 wt-% vanadium (V), 0-10 wt-% cobalt (Co), 0-3 wt-% niobium (Nb), 0-0.5 wt-% nitrogen (N), 0.2-1 wt-% yttrium (Y), and remainder iron (Fe) and unavoidable impurities, and wherein Mo+0.5W=2-10 weight %, characterized in that the method comprises the steps of: providing a powder comprising the elements of the high speed steel, forming a body of the powder, and subjecting the body to elevated heat and pressure such that a consolidation of the powder thereof is achieved.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a component having at least one internal cavity includes the step of providing a core element of metallic material that includes at least one cavity having a first opening covered by a cover element with a first and second side. A form partially surrounds the core element and cover element. The form is filled with metallic filling material and heated in a heating chamber that is pressurized with gas for a predetermined time period at a predetermined temperature and a predetermined isostatic pressure, so that a metallurgical bond is achieved between the core element, cover element and metallic filling material. The core element is arranged such that, after filling the form with metallic filling material, the second side of the cover element is covered with metallic filling material so that the cavity during heating is pressurized to the predetermined isostatic pressure.
