Abstract
Abstract A powder-metallurgy alloy article having a good combination of wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The article is further characterized by an attainable minimum hardness after heat treatment of 60R c and a martensitic structure. The article is made from prealloyed particles of the composition, in percent by weight, carbon 2.5-5, manganese 0.2-1, phosphorus 0.10 maximum, sulfur 0.10 maximum, silicon 1 maximum, nickel 0.5 maximum, chromium 15-30, molybdenum, 2-10 vanadium 6-11, nitrogen 0.15 maximum and balance, iron. The article has a fine, uniform distribution of a MC and other carbide phases.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
An alloy article characterized by a good combination of wear resistance and corrosion resistance and having a martensitic structure upon austenitizing, quenching and tempering, said article comprising compacted prealloyed particles of a composition consisting essentially of, in weight percent: carbon, 2.5 to 5 manganese 0.2 to 1 phosphorus 0.10 max. sulfur 0.10 max. silicon 1 max. nickel 0.5 max. chromium 15 to 30 molybdenum 2 to 10 vanadium 6 to 11 nitrogen 0.15 max. iron balance, including incidental impurities, said carbon being present in an amount balanced with vanadium, molybdenum and chromium to form carbides therewith and with sufficient remaining carbon to ensure said martensitic structure with a fine, uniformly distributed MC-carbide phase.
