Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a casting of a hypereutectic high chromium cast iron (“HCCI”) including: forming a melt of a molten hypereutectic high chromium cast iron and a carbide modifier, and forming a solid casting of the hypereutectic high chromium cast iron. The invention further relates to a carbide-modified hypereutectic high chromium cast iron (“HCCI”) that includes a dispersion of a primary carbide phase in a ferrous matrix, with the primary carbide phase including a carbide modifier phase within the primary carbide phase that acted as a nucleation agent for the primary carbide phase.

Abstract: A complex carbide for mining and mineral processing applications that are subject to severe additional metal, with the additional metal being a transition metal.

Abstract: An end-use casting of a high chromium white iron, i.e. a casting that has been heat-treated, includes a ferrous matrix and Oat least two different chromium carbides dispersed in the matrix, with at least one of the chromium carbides including a transformation product of an as-cast chromium carbide.

Abstract: A centrifugally cast composite metal product having an axis of rotational symmetry and a mass of at least 5 kg, comprises a host metal and insoluble solid refractory particles of & refractory material in a non-uniform distribution throughout the host metal. The particles have a density that is within 30% of the density of the host metal at its casting temperature.
