  • Patent number: 4911768
    Abstract: This material is kind of wear-resistant Nickel-base alloy for hard surfacing which can be substituted for Cobalt-base alloy. The new alloy is mainly comprised of C, Si, Cr, W and Cu and is of a low carbon, high chromium, high silicon, high tungsten and copper type Ni-base alloy. The said Ni-base alloy has excellent high temperature adhesive wear resistance and intercrystalline corrosion resistance properties, which are superior to that of the stellite No. 6 alloy Co-base alloy. In addition, the hardness, abrasive wear resistance, scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, elevated temperature oxidation resistance, heat resistance fatigue, crack resistance, operational applicability and other properties are equal to that of Stellite No. 6 Co-base alloy. The alloy of this invention can be used as a substitute for Co-base alloy in hard surfacing of high temperature, high pressure valves and valves for nuclear industry as well as other easily worn spare parts.

  • Patent number: 4713217
    Abstract: A nickel base brazing alloy, particularly suitable for diffusion brazing of superalloys, including gamma prime nickel base superalloys. The improved brazing alloy consists essentially of the following in weight percent: 12 to 14% chromium, 1 to 3.5% boron, 1.5 to 5% iron, less than 0.06% carbon, and the balance nickel. The brazing alloy and method of this invention is able to fill gaps in the brazed joint up to 0.02 inches, without adversely affecting the joint microstructure. The resultant microstructure of the brazed joint exhibits minorsecondary phase of ultrafine spherical secondary precipitates, in a predominant solid solution matrix resulting in improved ductility, high temperature oxidation and sulfidation resistance and elimination of the requirement for pressure brazing fixtures.
