Abstract
Abstract Wear parts or cutting tools, in which the part being exposed to wear is essentially an extremely difficultly grindable material (e.g., hard material), but in which the manufacture of the wear part or cutting tool requires considerable grinding operations can, according to the invention, be made better and cheaper forming the wear part or cutting tool of a compound material which is a wear-resistant (or difficult to grind) surface and a supporting surface of high speed steel or tool steel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A compound body of at least two parts, one of said at least two parts being a wear-resistant surface consisting essentially of a hard material of from 30 to 70 volume percent of particles selected from the group consisting of carbides, nitrides, carbonitrides and mixtures thereof of metals selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W and mixtures thereof, in a matrix based on a metal selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Co and mixtures thereof, and another of said at least two parts being a supporting surface consisting essentially of high speed steel or tool steel, the thickness of the wear-resistant surface being from 3 to 50% of the radial dimension of the said compound body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A compound body of at least two parts, one of said at least two parts being a wear-resistant surface consisting essentially of a hard material of from 30 to 70 volume percent of particles selected from the group consisting of carbides, nitrides, carbonitrides and mixtures thereof of metals selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W and mixtures thereof, in a matrix based on a metal selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Co and mixtures thereof, and another of said at least two parts being a supporting surface consisting essentially of high speed steel or tool steel, the thickness of the wear-resistant surface being from 3 to 50% of the radial dimension of the said compound body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
Compound body according to claim 1 characterized in that the matrix of the hard material is based upon iron.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
Compound body according to claim 1 characterized in that the thickness of the hard material part is at least 0.5 mm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
Compound body according to claim 1 characterized in that the material of the supporting surface has a grindability which is at least six times better than the corresponding grindability of the material of the wear-resistant surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim

Claim 14
Dependent Claim
126 words
Method of making a compound body according to claim 1, characterized in that a body of high speed steel or tool steel is placed in a powder mixture consisting of 30-70 by volume of hard constituents formed by particles selected from the group consisting of carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides and mixtures thereof of a metal selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W and mixtures thereof in a matrix based on a metal selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Co, and mixtures thereof after which the body and the powder mixture are compacted by cold isostatic pressing to form an extrusion billet, which then is placed in a can and hot extruded to a compound body blank.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
98 words
