No a. Application May d, 1931, Serial No.
The hard metals according to the present invention difier from the alloys hitherto known by their not being based on tungsten-carbides. Their main .efiective ingredients are one or sev- 5 eral carbides oi the elements zirconium, titanium,
thorium, cerium.
Whereas it has been proposed before now to add titaniumand thorium-carbide to hard metal alloys, the proportion added-has always been a small one and the basis has always been tungsten-carbide.
The present invention on the contrary has made it possible to obtain an alloy with the elements carbon, zirconium. titanium, thorium, cerium as the main effective constituent (and in particular titanium carbide), of which formed pieces voi any kind or shape can be made for hard metal tools and implements, which distin: guish themselves by their great hardness, and
"their extraordinary sharpness and toughness.
An important improvement has been achieved by alloying carbides of the titanium group consisting of titanium, zirconium, thorium and cerium with the elements of the chromium group (chromium, molybdenum, tungsten) and ele-. ments of the iron group (iron, cobalt, nickel,
manganese) or with elements from both groups. The ingredients of elements of the titanium group must amount to at least 20% and the ingredients of elements of the iron and/or chromium group must amount to at least 8%. The binding of the. carbides of the titanium group with the elements of their-on and/or chromium group canaccording to this inventlontake The sintering temperature for instancev lies at about 1400-1700" C. and the melting temperature above it, though no definite limits can be drawn, as these depend on the kind and proportion of the components. As for the molten alloys it is true that a process for obtaining molten bodies of titamum-carbide with low melting auxiliary metals has become known, but only if the proportion of titanium-carbide was not below 60%, serviceable tools could be obtained by this process. I, on the contrary have found, that a specially good product is obtained'by using molten alloys as'described in the examples mentioned hereafter. The combination of the titanium group-carbides with the elements of the iron and/or chromium group can also be carried out in such a manner that the binding mediums are made up separately in the form of an alloy of the iron or chromium group respectively, that they are then united with the pressed carbide body and brought to Germany May '5, 1930.
dlfiuse by heat treatment. It is true, that a process of imbibing carbides with low melting metals is known, but-this is based onthe capillary efiect of sintered carbides. The carbides of the titanium group do not show the peculiarity of the capillary suction forces. To unite these carbides with binding mediums the latter have to be heated about 800 to 300 above the melting point. Only owing to this overheating the melt begins to act on the carbide body and to penetrate therein. After the absorption of the melt by the carbide body it is necessary to further increase the temperature 50 to 100 C. for a short period in order to obtain a uniformly penetrated body.
Among others the following are examples of hard metals for cutting tools and other implements accor to the present invention:
with apart by weight of at least 25%. This is due to the fact that the efiect of these elements does not depend on the part by weight but on the part by volume which is at leastequal to the part by volume of any other constituent of the alloy in a powdery form or state, 1
Molten hard met'aifalloys of tungsten or tungstem-carbide as main- 'constitue t have hitherto become mown to which titani and zirconium up to 20 may be added. However, siutered hard metal alloys were notknown which consist of at least one \of the elements titanium or zirconium and slsocarbon as nl. constituent with at least one binding metal from the metals of the chromium or the iron groups. It has proved very ad'-- to known hard metals for working metals, glass, coal and rock.
The binding of the carbides and other constitsolid state. When sintering the powdery mixture,
1 a certain reciprocal action of the carbon takes place between titanium and zirconium carbide on the one hand and the elements of the chromium group on the other hand so that in addition to, for instance, titanium carbide, elementary titanium may be present and in addition to tungsten, or chromium. tungsten carbide and chromium carbide may be present.
What I claim is:
- 1. Sintered hard metal alloy for working tools, consisting of 35 to 45% T1, to-% Ni, 5 to 10% Cr., 10 to 20% W, and 6 to 10% C, the Tibeing in carbide iorm.
2. Sintered hard metal alloy for working tools. consisting of 30 to Ti, 15 to 25% Co, 15 to 25% Cr, 15 to 25% W and 7 to 10% C, the Tibeing in carbide form. v
3. A sintered hard metal alloy for working tools, consisting of between 20 and of titanium carbide, between 15 and 01' the elements chromium and tungsten taken together, there being at least 5% or each of the said two elements, and the balance consisting of a substantial amount of the iron group; said alloy containing between 6 and 10% carbon.
