Wear resistant centrifuge tile assemblies include a backing portion and a wear-resistant tile. Wear resistant centrifuge tile assemblies are provided with self-fixturing features to provide a desired mounting position and to restrict movement of the wear-resistant tile with respect to the backing plate during bonding. The self-fixturing features provide the ability to perform repeatable and consistent bonding of the wear-resistant tile to the backing plate. The bonding of the wear-resistant tile to the backing plate can be performed with a braze material.

Composite suction liners and associated centrifugal pump architectures are described herein which, in some embodiments, provide enhanced operating lifetimes under abrasive slurry conditions. For example, a composite suction liner includes a suction liner substrate and a monolithic cladding metallurgically bonded to a face of the suction liner substrate, the monolithic cladding comprising metal matrix composite including a hard particle phase dispersed in matrix metal or alloy.

Composite suction liners and applications thereof

A flowable composite particle that includes a plurality of bound hard particles and a binder alloy. The bound hard particles are unfractured bound hard particles and fractured bound hard particles. Each of the bound hard particles is bonded to the binder alloy. The bound hard particles have a particle size of &#x2212;325 Mesh. The flowable composite particle have a particle size distribution is: (a) between more than about zero weight percent and about 5 weight percent flowable composite particles of a +80 Mesh particle size, (b) between about 60 weight percent and about 95 weight percent flowable composite particles of a &#x2212;80+325 Mesh particle size, and (c) between more than about zero weight percent and about 35 weight percent flowable composite particles of a &#x2212;325 Mesh particle size.
