Abstract

A sintered hard alloy for tools and implements consists of 75 per cent or more of boron carbide with one or more than one carbide of melting point exceeding 2000 DEG C., for example carbide of silicon, vanadium, tungsten molybdenum, titanium, hafnium or zirconium, and a metal or metals of lower melting point, particularly iron, nickel, cobalt or chromium. Boron, obtained for example by the reduction of boron trioxide with magnesium and subsequent treatment with hydrochloric acid may first be carburized to correspond with the formula B6C by carbon or hydrocarbon in a carbon tube furnace traversed by hydrogen. The carbide is intimately mixed with the auxiliary metal and high melting point carbide and the mixture is deprived of gases by heating in vacuum before pressing and finally sintering in a carbon furnace traversed by hydrogen. The metallic elements (including silicon) of the auxiliary carbides, or elementary boron, may be added instead of the carbides to the boron carbide, the elements becoming carburized during the process of sintering.ALSO:A sintered hard alloy for tools and implements consists of 75 per cent or more of boron carbide with one or more than one carbide of melting-point exceeding 2000 DEG C., for example carbide of silicon, vanadium, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, hafnium, or zirconium, and a metal or metals of lower melting-point, particularly iron, nickel, cobalt, or chromium.
