Abstract
Abstract Strong, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant products are obtainable from alloys composed of 14- 30% molybdenum, 6- 12% chromium, 0.5--4% silicon and at least 50% cobalt. This alloy contains 30- 60 volume percent of a hard Laves phase and, correspondingly, 40- 70 volume percent of a solid solution matrix phase containing about 75% by weight of cobalt.
