Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Carbide pellets including relatively small amounts of metallic binder are produced by steps of pressing, comminuting, shaping and sintering. The carbide pellets may be used as wear resistant hard facing materials that are applied to various types of tools. The carbide pellets provide improved mechanical properties such as hardness and abrasiveness while maintaining required levels of toughness and strength.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Substantially spherical sintered carbide pellets comprising carbide and from 0.5 to 2.5 weight percent of a metallic binder, wherein the carbide has an average particle size from about 2 μm to about 4 μm. 2. The substantially spherical sintered carbide pellets of claim 1 , wherein the metallic binder is present in an amount of about 2 weight percent. 3. The substantially spherical sintered carbide pellets of claim 1 , wherein the metallic binder comprises cobalt, iron, nickel, steel or a combination thereof. 4. The substantially spherical sintered carbide pellets of claim 1 , wherein the metallic binder comprises cobalt. 5. The substantially spherical sintered carbide pellets of claim 1 , wherein the carbide comprises tungsten carbide, di-tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, tantalum carbide, chromium carbide, vanadium carbide or a combination thereof. 6. The substantially spherical sintered carbide pellets of claim 1 , wherein the carbide comprises tungsten carbide. 7. The substantially spherical sintered carbide pellets of claim 1 , wherein the substantially spherical sintered pellets have an average size of from about 381 to about 1,885 microns. 8. The substantially spherical sintered carbide pellets of claim 1 , wherein the substantially spherical sintered carbide pellets are formed from shaped green pellets. 9. Substantially spherical sintered cemented carbide pellets comprising carbide and from 0.5 to 2.5 weight percent of a metallic binder. 10. The substantially spherical sintered cemented carbide pellets of claim 9 , wherein the metallic binder comprises cobalt, iron, nickel, steel or a combination thereof. 11. The substantially spherical sintered cemented carbide pellets of claim 9 , wherein the metallic binder comprises cobalt. 12. The substantially spherical sintered cemented carbide pellets of claim 9 , wherein the carbide comprises tungsten carbide, di-tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, tantalum carbide, chromium carbide, vanadium carbide or a combination thereof. 13. The substantially spherical sintered cemented carbide pellets of claim 9 , wherein the carbide comprises tungsten carbide. 14. The substantially spherical sintered cemented carbide pellets of claim 9 , wherein the substantially spherical sintered pellets have an average size of from about 381 to about 1,885 microns. 15. The substantially spherical sintered cemented carbide pellets of claim 9 , wherein the substantially spherical sintered cemented carbide pellets are formed from shaped green pellets. 16. The substantially spherical sintered carbide pellets of claim 9 , wherein the carbide has an average particle size of 0.5 μm to 10 μm.
