A FERROCHROMIUM ALLOY
The present invention relates to a ferrochromium alloy and more particularly to an erosion and corrosion resistant ferrochromium alloy.
The present in;~ention is designed for use in the formation of parts for lining pumps, pipes, rozz~es, mixers and similar devices which, in service, can be subjected to mixtures containing a corrosive fluid and , abrasive particles.

203'921 Typical applications for such parts include flue ' .
gas desulphurization, in which the parts are exposed to sulphuric acid and limestone, and fertiliser production, in which the parts are exposed to phosphoric acid, nitric acid and gypsum.
U.S. patents, 4,536,232 and 4,080,198, assigned to Abex Corporation (the "Abex U.S. patents"), disclose ferrochromium alloys containing approximately 1.6 wt. ~
carbon and 28 wt. ~ chromium which are characterized by primary chromium carbide and ferrite islands in a martensite or austenite matrix containing a solid solution of chroMium. The level of chromium in the alloys suggests that the alloys should exhibit good corrosion resistance characteristics. However, the performance of such alloys from the corrosion resistance viewpoint is not entirely satisfactory.
An object of the present invention is to provide a ferrochromium alloy which has improved erosion and corrosion resistance compared with the alloys disclosed in the Abex U.S. patents.
The mechanism for erosion and corrosion of alloys of the type disclosed in the Abex U.S, patents in acidic environments is by accelerated corrosion due to the continuous removal of the passive corrosion-resistant layer by erosive particles in the fluid stream.
In order to replenish the passive layer it is necessary to have the chromium concentration at as high ' a level as possible in the matrix.
However, simply increasing the chromium content to improve corrosion resistance tends to cause the WO 91/02101 p~~~J~Q~~~l ~~3 formation of the sigma phase which is undesirable in 'view of the embrittlement problems associated with the sigma phase.
The present invention is based on the realization that by increasing both the chromium and carbon concentrations of alloys of the type disclosed in the Abex U.S. patents it is possible to increase the volume fraction of the chromium carbide phase, and thereby improve the wear resistance characteristics of the ferrochromium alloys, while maintaining the matrix at a chromium concentration which is at a level that will not lead to the formation of significant amounts of sigma phase. It can be appreciated that by improving the wear resistance of the ferrochromium alloys, in view of the mechanism by which erosion and corrosion occurs, as noted above, it is possible to realize an improvement in the erosion and corrosion resistance of the ferrochromium alloys.
According to the present invention there is provided an erosion and corrosion resistant ferrochromiura alloy comprising the following composition, in wt . fis .
34 - 50 chromium 1.5 - 2.5 carbon up to 5 manganese up to 5 silicon up to 5 molybdenum up to 10 nickel up to S copper up to 1~ of each of one or more micro-alloying elements selected from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium, niobium, boron, vanadium and tungsten, and ~~~~~N~
