Abstract
Abstract A compound substance of great hardness and toughness, comprising a metal matrix, having embedded therein, hard material granules of a size of 0.1 to 5 mm. The metal matrix comprises 1 to 4% carbon, 0.3 to 0.6% silicon, 0.5 to 1.5% manganese, 0.8 to 2.8% vanadium, 0.5 to 1.5% chromium, 2 to 10% tungsten, about 0.01% aluminum and the remainder, iron.

Dependent Claim
67 words
Wear resistant compound substance comprising a cast metal matrix comprising, by weight, 1 to 4% carbon, 0.3 to 0.6% silicon, 0.5 to 1.5% manganese, 0.8 to 2.8% vanadium, 0.5 to 1.5% chromium, 2 to 10% tungsten, about 0.01% aluminum, and the remainder, iron, and, embedded in said metal matrix, a hard material in granular form, the hard material having a grain size of 0.1 to 5 mm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
Compound substance as defined in claim 1 wherein said hard material has a grain size of 0.5 to 1 mm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
Compound substance as defined in claim 1 wherein the metal matrix comprises, by weight, 2.5 to 3.5% carbon, 0.4 to 0.5% silicon, 0.8 to 1.2% manganese, 1.5 to 2.3% vanadium, 0.8 to 1.2% chromium, 5 to 8% tungsten, 0.01% aluminum, and the remainder iron.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
Compound substance as defined in any one of claims 1 through 3 wherein the metal matrix having said hard material embedded therein, is tightly bonded to a metal layer free of hard materials.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
Compound substance as defined in any one of claims 1 through 3, wherein the hard material is selected from the group consisting of tungsten carbide of the type WC, tungsten carbide of the type W 2 C, titanium carbides, tantalum carbides, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
Compound substance as defined in any one of claims 1 through 3, wherein the embedded hard material is free of titanium.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
Compound material as defined in any one of claims 1 through 3 wherein the weight ratio of hard material to metal matrix, based on initial weights, is 1:5.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
Compound substance as defined in any one of claims 1 through 3 which is welded onto a tool subject to abrasive wear.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
19 words
Compound substance as defined in claim 8 wherein the tool is an excavating bucket or a rock drilling bit.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
89 words
Method for producing a compound substance comprising melting an alloy comprising, by weight, 1 to 4% carbon, 0.3 to 0.6 silicon, 0.5 to 1.5% manganese, 0.8 to 2.8% vanadium, 0.5 to 1.5 chromium, 2 to 10% tungsten, about 0.01% aluminum, and the remainder, iron, pouring said melt into a mold, adding to said melt hard material granules having a size of 0.1 to 5 mm, the hard material being embedded in a plastic matrix comprising a plastic which evaporates without residue, and simultaneous with said addition, cooling said melt.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
89 words
Method for producing a compound substance comprising melting an alloy comprising, by weight, 1 to 4% carbon, 0.3 to 0.6 silicon, 0.5 to 1.5% manganese, 0.8 to 2.8% vanadium, 0.5 to 1.5 chromium, 2 to 10% tungsten, about 0.01% aluminum, and the remainder, iron, pouring said melt into a mold, adding to said melt hard material granules having a size of 0.1 to 5 mm, the hard material being embedded in a plastic matrix comprising a plastic which evaporates without residue, and simultaneous with said addition, cooling said melt.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
14 words
Method as defined in claim 10 wherein the mold is a preheated ceramic mold.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
21 words
Method as defined in claim 10 or 11 wherein the mold is preheated to about 800° C. to about 1200° C.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
24 words
Method as defined in claim 10 or 11 additionally comprising soldering or welding the compound substance onto a metal layer free of hard materials.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
24 words
Method as defined by claim 10 wherein the mold is vibrated to uniformly distribute the hard material in the bottom of the metal matrix.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
57 words
The method as defined in claim 10 or 14, wherein the plastic matrix is placed in the mold before the metal alloy is poured into the mold, and when the melt is added to the mold, the plastic evaporates above the surface of the melt, and the hard substance granules are simultaneously released, falling into the melt.
