A hard faced article comprising an iron or steel substrate having on the surface thereof a weld deposit composed of a solidified iron or steel matrix containing a hard facing material comprising chemically combined vanadium and carbon having tungsten composition wherein said chemically combined vanadium and carbon with tungsten composition consist essentially of a solid solution of vanadium, tungsten and carbon composition and is substantially uniformly distributed throughout said solidified iron or steel matrix, said composition consisting essentially of at least one vanadium carbide with tungsten in solid solution with each vanadium carbide in an amount from about 10% by weight up to solid solubility limit of tungsten in each vanadium carbide.

Hard faced article

Hard facing of iron and iron base alloy substrates is disclosed using a hard facing material containing vanadium carbide and a flux composition containing nickel boron or calcium silicon. The nickel boron is used in amounts ranging from about 1 to 3% by weight of the mixture while the calcium silicon is used in amounts ranging from about 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of the mixture.

Hard facing of metal substrates using material containing VC and

Method for hard facing iron or iron base alloy substrates using as a hard facing material a solid composition consisting essentially of grains of vanadium carbide having in solid solution from about 10 to 50% by weight tungsten, and containing from about 0.5 to 5% by weight manganese and 0 to 3% by weight copper in the grain boundaries.

Method for hard-facing substrates is disclosed using a hard facing material consisting essentially of at least one vanadium carbide. In a particular embodiment of the invention tungsten is present in the hard facing material in solid solution with vanadium carbide.

Hard facing of metal substrates

Method for hard-facing metal substrates is disclosed using a hard facing material consisting essentially of combined vanadium, tungsten and carbon and from about 5 to about 40% by weight of chromium carbide with up to 15% by weight in the aggregate of cobalt, iron, molybdenum and nickel.

Hard-facing of iron and iron base alloy substrates is disclosed using a hard facing material in the form of granules consisting essentially of grains of chemically combined vanadium, tungsten, molybdenum, and carbon bonded by a binder metal of nickel-molybdenum alloy.

Hard facing of metal substrates using material containing V, W, Mo, C

Method for hard-facing substrates is disclosed using a hard facing material consisting essentially of combined vanadium and carbon and minor amount of uncombined carbon with up to 15% by weight cobalt.

A rod for hard-facing substrates is disclosed using a hard facing material consisting essentially of at least one vanadium carbide. In a particular embodiment of the invention tungsten is present in the hard facing material in solid solution with vanadium carbide.

Hard facing rod

The present invention is a process for making shaped, dense, hard, fine grain tool quality tungsten carbide by the interaction of tungsten, carbon and cobalt during a single heat treatment to form WC + Co compositions. The interaction occurs in situ without the aid of applied pressure. The interaction produces wares of high density with excellent mechanical and cutting properties.
