Abstract

A double carbide of Zr and W, represented by the formula Zr3WC4, is obtained by mixing fine powders of reducible compounds of Zr and W, e.g. ZrO2 and WO3, in stoichiometrical proportions with the quantity of carbon required for the reduction of the said compounds and carburisation of the Zr and W, reducing and carburising the mixture at a temperature of at least 2000 DEG C. while extracting the gases liberated by the reaction, and then cooling the product, the cooling from 1600 DEG to 1000 DEG C. being slow and controlled.ALSO:In a process for the manufacture of hard sintered alloys consisting of zirconium carbide and tungsten carbide agglomerated by means of a more fusible metal or alloy, e.g. cobalt or iron and cobalt, the zirconium carbide is introduced into the alloy in the form of a double carbide of zirconium and tungsten represented by the formula [ZrWC1] or in the form of a solid solution of the said double carbide and the double carbide of titanium and tungsten represented by the formula Ti3WC4. The alloy may also contain one or more other refractory carbides such as those of vanadium, tantalum, niobium, and molybdenum. The vanadium, or vanadium and chromium is, or are, incorporated in the alloy by the process described in Specification 637,166. The double carbide or the solid solution is mixed as a fine powder with the other constituents of the final alloy, compressed, and sintered. The solid solution of the double carbides may be obtained by mixing reducible compounds of the said three refractory metals in such proportions that for each atom of tungsten in the solid solution there are three atoms of zirconium and titanium together, and also incorporating in the mixture the quantity of carbon required for the reduction of the said compounds of, and carburization of, the tungsten, zirconium and titanium, reducing and carburizing the mixture at a temperature between 2000 DEG C. and 2300 DEG C. while extracting the gases liberated by the reaction, and then cooling the product, the cooling from 1600 DEG C. to 1000 DEG C being slow and controlled. Specification 516,227 also is referred to.
