Abstract
Provided is a corrosion-resistant, high-hardness alloy composition, which realizes both corrosion resistance and high hardness by using a Ni—Co—Cr—Mo-based alloy and optimizing the chemical composition, heat treatment conditions and processing conditions thereof, and a method for producing that alloy composition. The alloy composition is an alloy composition comprising 15.5% by weight to 16.5% by weight of Cr, 7.5% by weight to 15.5% by weight of Mo, 0% by weight to 30% by weight of Co, 4.5% by weight to 15% by weight of Fe and 0.5% by weight to 4.0% by weight of Cu, with the remainder consisting of Ni and unavoidably included elements, wherein the crystal phase consists only of a 7 phase and the Vickers hardness at room temperature is 500 HV or more. The alloy composition is obtained by subjecting an ingot of an alloy having the aforementioned composition to homogenization treatment for 4 hours to 24 hours at 1100° C. to 1300° C., followed by subjecting to cold processing at a compression rate of 30% to 60% and then to aging treatment for 0.5 hours to 3 hours over a temperature range of 300° C. to 600° C.
