In these alloy powders, any proportion of the individual metals making up the alloy powders is suitable.
- the diffusion treatment may be carried out by first applying a powdered metal and diffusing the same and thereafter applying another layer of powdered metal and subjecting the previously treated article to a further diffusion treatment.

- the particle size of the powdered metal should be such that substantially all of it will pass through a 300 mesh screen. However, under some conditions coarser powders between 100 and 300 mesh may be used.
- the organic vehicle should be of a composition which will readily volatilize or decompose into non-toxic. and non-irritating gaseous substances when exposed to the temperatures employed in the diffusing treatment.
- the vehicle should leavenoiash or residue after decomposition at high temperatures. Examples of such materials are the glycolic compounds such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propyleneglycol or the like, lacquers, and liquid polymeric compounds such as liquid Lucite.
- Example 1 A titanium panel was first cleaned and then had applied thereto a thin layer of a mixture of volatile lacquer and fine nickel powder. The titanium panel and the nickel powder thereon were then heat treated in'an argon atmosphere for three hours at 1700 F. to cause diffusion of the metals. This temperature is below the melting points of both nickel and titanium and also below any nickel-titanium eutectic temperature. At the end of this time the treated panel was subjected to metallographic examination and the results showed a solid-solid diffusion of nickel and titanium hadtaken place to a depth of .015 inch. This alloy layer was found to have a maximum hardness of 310 DPH in the as diffused condition ascompared to a hardness of 180 DPH for the titanium panel itself.

- the diffusion layer had a maximum as-difiused hardness of 370 DPH ascompared to a hardness of 180 DPH for the titanium panel.
- Reheating to 1700 F. and water quenching gave a maximum hardness of 410 DPH. Tempering one-half hour at 500 F. increased the maximum hardness to 620 DPH. In general a temperature of 1000 F. to 2200 F.

Claims. (Cl. 29-198) um and then heat treating the materials at a temperature below the melting point of the titanium and the powdered metal and also below any eutectic temperature of the titanium and the powdered metal to cause diffusion of the metals.
Suitable powdered metals which I have found may be successfully employed are nickel, manganese, chromium,
etc. Under some conditions mixtures of these metals also may be used. The metal powders either may be pure or may be the commercial grades of nickel, manganese and chromium. Powdered binary alloys of nickel and manganese, nickel and chromium, and chromium and manganese and ternary alloys of nickel, manganese and chromium also may be employed in place of the single metal powders. In these alloy powders, any proportion of the individual metals making up the alloy powders is suitable.
If desired, more than a single diffusion layer may be formed. For example, the diffusion treatment may be carried out by first applying a powdered metal and diffusing the same and thereafter applying another layer of powdered metal and subjecting the previously treated article to a further diffusion treatment. The second layer of powder may be the same as the first or it may be a different metal, mixture of metals, or an alloy of the metals.
It is important that the titanium and metal powder be maintained free of oxides. Accordingly a neutral atmosphere is employed during the diffusion heat treatment. Very pure argon is preferably used because it is heavier than air and hence may be conveniently employed to purge the furnace. Under some conditions helium or hydrogen may be employed in place of argon, or together with argon. The diffusion heat treatment also may be carried out in a vacuum.
In general it is preferred that the particle size of the powdered metal should be such that substantially all of it will pass through a 300 mesh screen. However, under some conditions coarser powders between 100 and 300 mesh may be used.
Best results are obtained when the powdered metal is mixed with a liquid organic vehicle and the mixture applied to the titanium or titanium alloy. The organic vehicle should be of a composition which will readily volatilize or decompose into non-toxic. and non-irritating gaseous substances when exposed to the temperatures employed in the diffusing treatment. The vehicle should leavenoiash or residue after decomposition at high temperatures. Examples of such materials are the glycolic compounds such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propyleneglycol or the like, lacquers, and liquid polymeric compounds such as liquid Lucite.

The following are specific examples of procedure in accordance with the invention:
Example 1 A titanium panel was first cleaned and then had applied thereto a thin layer of a mixture of volatile lacquer and fine nickel powder. The titanium panel and the nickel powder thereon were then heat treated in'an argon atmosphere for three hours at 1700 F. to cause diffusion of the metals. This temperature is below the melting points of both nickel and titanium and also below any nickel-titanium eutectic temperature. At the end of this time the treated panel was subjected to metallographic examination and the results showed a solid-solid diffusion of nickel and titanium hadtaken place to a depth of .015 inch. This alloy layer was found to have a maximum hardness of 310 DPH in the as diffused condition ascompared to a hardness of 180 DPH for the titanium panel itself. Upon heating the diffused panel at 1700 F. and quenching in water a maximum hardness of 480 DPH was observed. Subsequent tempering at 800 F. for onehalf hour lowered the maximum hardness to 360 DPH. The nickel powder employed was such that substantially all of it would pass through a 300 mesh screen. In general it is contemplated that temperatures of approximately 1410 F. to 1750 F. may be employed for the diffusion heat treatment in usingnickel powder. The time of the diffusion heat treatment is somewhat dependent on the temperature employed and in general the time of diffusion heat treatment may range from about one-fourth hour to about ten hours.
Example-2 In place of nickel powder as in Example 1 another titanium panel was treated by applying a thin layer of manganese powder (300 mesh or finer) in a volatile lacquer and heat treated at a temperature of 1850 F. in a pure argon atmosphere for three hours to cause diffusion of the metals. The diffusion layer had a maximum as-difiused hardness of 370 DPH ascompared to a hardness of 180 DPH for the titanium panel. Reheating to 1700 F. and water quenching gave a maximum hardness of 410 DPH. Tempering one-half hour at 500 F. increased the maximum hardness to 620 DPH. In general a temperature of 1000 F. to 2200 F. may be employed where manganese forms the surface material, the lower temperatures necessitating longer times of dilfusion and A thin layer of a mixture of chromium powder and a liquid organic vehicle was applied to a titanium panel and thereafter heat treated at 1850 F. for three hours in an argon atmosphere. At the end of this time a hardness test indicated the treated surface was increased in hardness, although to a lesser extent than in the case of Examples 1 and 2. In general a temperature of about 1300 F. to about 2550 F. may be employed where chromium forms the surface material. The time of the difiusion heat treatment is somewhat dependent on the temperature employed and in general the time may. range from about one-quarter hour to about ten hours.
Although titanium basealloys in general may be employed in the present invention, excellent results are obtained when a commercially pure metal is used. An example of a commercially available titanium alloy is one composed of approximately 0.1% iron, 0.08% tungsten, 0.02% nitrogen, carbon not in excess of 0.04%, a trace of oxygen,'and the balance substantially all titanium. Commercial titanium base alloys containing chromium, usually between 1.5% and 3%, may likewise be used. Thus an alloy composed of about 2.7% chromium, approxi- Patented Nov. 4, 1958 3. mately 1.3% iron, 0.25% oxygen, 0.02% nitrogen, tungsten not in excess of 0.04%, 0.02% carbon, and the balance titanium has proved to be satisfactory. Commercially available alloys may also be obtained with manganese contents as high as 7%and aluminum contents up to 5%. Y i i As used in the several claims titanium is intended to include not only pure titanium and commercial titanium but also titanium base alloys.
