Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to cobalt-free alloys.
  • Cobalt-base alloys such as the Stellites (RTM) have been used extensively to form components or to provide hardfacing due to their high wear resistance, especially at high temperatures, with very good corrosion resistance.
  • RTM Stellites
  • One application of such cobalt-base alloys is as a hardfacing on valve seats.
  • the invention is directed towards cobalt-free alloys.
  • One such alloy consists essentially of, by weight:
  • the alloy of the present invention has an iron base.
  • the iron is, in the solid form of the alloy, in a predominantly austenitic crystallographic matrix. This is achieved by a depression of the martensite start temperature. By selecting a predominantly austenitic matrix, the formation of low-temperature phases which may occur in duplex matrixes is inhibited.
  • the alloy further comprises carbon and chromium.
  • an appropriately-controlled cooling rate will allow the chromium to diffuse into chromium-depleted zones formed by the carbide precipitation. This is aided by the provision of a sufficient quantity of the chromium to, at meta-equilibrium, form a first population dissolved in the austenite for corrosion resistance, and a second population in the form of carbides.
  • the carbides may be either of the form Cr 7 C 3 . They may alternatively be in the form of Cr 23 C 6 . Alternatively there could be combination of those carbides. Other forms of chromium carbide may also be selectively formed.
  • the carbon is provided at an effective concentration of up to 2.5 percent by weight.
  • the chromium is provided at a concentration of between 12 and 58 percent by weight. The lower bound of the chromium concentration is selected so as to ensure a sufficient quantity (a first population) is dissolved in the austenitic matrix for corrosion resistance.
  • a second population of chromium combines with the carbon to form chromium carbides.
  • the chromium carbides are provided at an effective concentration for galling resistance. They also provide general wear resistance.
  • the first population of chromium is provided at a concentration of 16 percent by weight.
  • the second population of chromium is provided at a concentration such that the molar ratio between chromium and carbon is 7:3. This allows the formation of Cr 7 C 3 .
  • the second population of chromium is provided at a concentration such that the molar ratio between chromium and carbon is 23:6. This allows the formation of Cr 23 C 6 .
  • the alloy has, by weight, 0.8 to 1.2 percent carbon. This produces an alloy which has comparable carbide content to Stellite 6. In another embodiment, the alloy has, by weight, 1.7 to 2.0 percent carbon. This produces an alloy which has comparable carbide content to Stellite 12. In another embodiment, the alloy has, by weight, 2.2 to 2.5 percent carbon. This produces an alloy which has comparable carbide content to Stellite 3.
  • chromium is a ferrite stabiliser, and indeed in high concentrations can completely eliminate the austenitic phase. This effect is offset however by provision of a sufficient concentration of austenite stabilisers to ensure the austenitic matrix is metastable at all temperatures that the alloy will be exposed to during service.
  • the austenite stabilisers maintain a predominantly austenitic crystallographic matrix in a metastable condition so as to prevent formation of ferrite during service. In this way, the quantity of dissolved chromium remains sufficient to maintain corrosion resistance.
  • the austenite stabilisers are nickel, manganese and nitrogen, with the overall concentration of these elements being selected so as to effect the required degree of austenite stabilisation.
  • the concentration of nickel required to depress the martensite start temperature sufficiently also increases the stacking fault energy of the austenitic matrix.
  • the increase in stacking fault energy results in the matrix having a lower tolerance to defects introduced by deformation, such as galling.
  • the nickel-equivalents manganese and nitrogen are also used so as to reduce the required nickel concentration.
  • Nitrogen also operates to reduce stacking fault energy throughout the entire austenitic matrix. This complements the carbide population in terms of providing resistance to galling.
  • chromium and manganese both increase the solubility of the nitrogen in the austenite, whilst having only a moderate propensity to form nitrides, and/or carbonitrides, compared with, for example, titanium which is a strong nitride former. In this way, higher concentrations of nitrogen may be used, thereby further reducing the amount of nickel required and further reducing stacking fault energy.
  • manganese not only acts as an austenite stabiliser and as a nitrogen solubility modifier, but it also acts to increase the hardenability of the alloy. Again, this acts to increase the galling resistance of the alloy.
  • Nickel also improves the corrosion resistance of the alloy over and above that achievable by provision of solely chromium for such a purpose.
  • Manganese is abundant, as is nitrogen, thereby reducing difficulties in terms of sourcing supply of nickel.
  • the austenite stabilisers are provided in the following concentrations by weight: 7 to 9 percent manganese; 4 to 6 percent nickel; 0.08 to 0.2 percent nitrogen.
  • Additional carbide formers may be provided to assist in maintaining the concentration of chromium dissolved in the matrix constant.
  • one or more additional carbide formers over and above the chromium are included whose carbides have a temperature of formation greater than that of chromium carbide.
  • the one or more additional carbide formers are selected from the group consisting of titanium and vanadium.
  • Other additional carbide formers are possible singularly or in combination, for example hafnium. The provision of additional carbide formers may reduce the degree of sensitisation.
  • the carbide population is solely chromium-based. It has been found that whilst this may require measures to be taken to reduce sensitisation, it increases the corrosion resistance of the alloy relative to those embodiments where the additional carbide formers are provided.
  • a melt fluidity promotor is included in the form of silicon at a concentration of 4 to 5 percent by weight.
  • the powdered form of the alloy may be produced by gas atomisation.
  • the alloys described herein may be provided in powdered form. Thus they may be used in, for example, a HIP process or a weld deposition process.
  • the alloys may be used in a component part of a nuclear reactor. More generally, the alloys may constitute an article, or may constitute a coating of an article, for example a hardfacing. Additional heat treatments may be performed, for example to increase the quantity of austenite.
