Embodiments of a powder feedstock as disclosed herein.
Embodiments of a method of bulk welding as disclosed herein.
In certain hardfacing applications using a bulk welding process, it can be advantageous to utilize powder feedstock that minimizes unmelted particles after welding, easily has flux detach, and/or maintains stable process conditions, such as voltage, amperage, wire feed, table traverse rate, oscillation width, and powder feed rate over a range of process parameters.
Disclosed herein are embodiments of alloys configured as a blend of raw material constituents or configured as a homogeneous powder that are used as feedstock to form wear resistant coatings, such as for bulk welding applications, achieving the properties listed above. Alloys that meet the embodiments of this disclosure have beneficial deposition characteristics including low spatter during welding, controlled dilution with substrates, easy flux detachment, low percentage of unmelts, and wide processing windows.
As disclosed herein, the term alloy can refer to the chemical composition forming the powder disclosed within, the powder itself, and the composition of the metal component formed by the heating and/or deposition of the powder.
The technology in this disclosure occupies a unique balance between achieving advantageous wear resistant and impact resistant microstructure and compatibility with the bulk welding process. In general, it is beneficial to utilize refractory elements such as Mo and Nb to form borides and carbides of desirable morphology for performance. Reduction of these elements will generally increase the potential of an undesirable microstructure resulting in low impact resistance. However, as refractory elements are increased the weldability becomes more challenging particularly in the process of bulk welding. Refractory elements are by definition, high melting temperature, and their increased utilization will increasingly result in unmelts. Unmelts are particles which have not been melted during the welding process but are contained within the overall weld bead. The presence of unmelts is un-desirable because they decrease weld performance. A typical option for reducing unmelts is to increase the welding power. However, as welding power is increased unmelts will decrease but additional problems will arise. Dilution will increase with welding power, which is undesirable beyond 38% for a variety of reasons.
Further, embodiments of this disclosure show additional inventive effort to enable compatibility with a specific welding process known as bulk welding. The preferred embodiments and majority of potential alloy compositions described in U.S. Pat. Pub. No. 2016/0168670 are not compatible with bulk welding.
In contrast to the U.S. Pat. No. 8,704,134 discussed above, embodiments of this disclosure describes criteria that allow for precise control over the performance, microstructural, and thermodynamic criteria. Specifically, this can be done by controlling the chemistry to reduce, or completely exclude, carbides and borocarbides that have detrimental performance impacts. This exclusion can allow for control of toughness, wear resistance, and hardness not described in the referenced art.
In some embodiments, alloys powder feedstocks can be described by a range in chemistry. This range is used to describe the blended or atomized powder configured to form a wearpart or hardfacing layer after welding. For example, in some embodiments the alloys can comprise the following, in weight percent:
In some embodiments an alloy can comprise by weight percent:
In some embodiments an alloy can comprise by weight percent:
In some embodiments an alloy can comprise by weight percent:
In some embodiments an alloy can comprise by weight percent:
In some embodiments an alloy can comprise by weight percent:
In some embodiments an alloy can comprise Fe and, by weight percent:
In some embodiments an alloy can comprise Fe and, by weight percent:
In some embodiments an alloy can comprise Fe and, by weight percent:
In some embodiments an alloy can comprise Fe and, by weight percent:
In some embodiments an alloy can comprise Fe and, by weight percent:
For any of the above compositions, the alloy can further include silicon. In some embodiments, the alloys may contain greater than 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, or 0.9 (or about 0.1, about 0.2, about 0.3, about 0.4, about 0.5, about 0.6, about 0.7, about 0.8, or about 0.9) wt. % silicon. In some embodiments, the alloys may contain less than 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, or 1.0 (or about 0.1, about 0.2, about 0.3, about 0.4, about 0.5, about 0.6, about 0.7, about 0.8, about 0.9, or about 1.0) wt. % silicon.
For any of the above compositions, Nb can be substituted for one or more of Nb, Ti, Zr, V, Ta, and Hf in equivalent percentages.
In some embodiments the alloys may be described instead as a blend of raw material powders. For example, in some embodiments the alloys can comprise the following in weight percent:
In some embodiments an alloy can comprise, in weight percent:
In some embodiments the alloy can include, in weight percent:
In some embodiments the alloy can include, by weight percent:
For the above recited compositions, the raw material powders can be broken down as below in certain embodiments.
For all of the above compositions, they can further include up to 5 (or about 5) wt. % impurities.
From an elemental balance standpoint, a reduction of refractory elements such as Mo, Nb, and W or an increase in iron in alloys feedstock powders can be correlated with improved manufacturability. For example the alloy P59-X19, which is outside the embodiments of this disclosure, in Table 2 has a total refractory content (Mo+Nb+W) of 34.7 wt. % and a total iron content of 32 wt. %. The alloy X29 with good manufacturing performance and which is within the embodiments of this disclosure, has a total refractory content of 22.32 wt. % and a total iron content of 49.9 wt. %. The alloy X25 within this disclosure has a total refractory content of 29 wt. % and a total iron content of 41 wt. %.
Although a reduction in refractory content leads to improved welding performance, these elements, (Mo, Nb, W) are advantageous in the alloy feedstock powder to form the desired phases and phase fractions in the coating. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2016/0168670 describes in detail the benefits of borides and/or carbides formed from these refractory elements. Benefits include increased phase hardness correlated to improved wear performance and near spherical morphology which improves coating toughness.
In some embodiments of this disclosure, alloy powder feedstocks have between 15 wt. % and 28 wt. % (or between about 15 and about 28 wt. %) of the refractory elements Mo+Nb+W. In some embodiments, the alloy powder feedstock can have been 24 wt. % and 32 wt. % (or between about 24 and about 32 wt. %) of the refractory elements Mo+Nb+W. In some embodiments, the alloy powder feedstock can have been 27 wt. % and 29 wt. % (or between about 27 and about 29 wt. %) of the refractory elements Mo+Nb+W. In some embodiments of this disclosure alloy powder feedstocks have greater than 35 wt. % Fe (or greater than about 35 wt. %).
Table 1 below demonstrates alloy feedstock blends intended to produce coating chemistries described in U.S. Pat. App. No. 2016/0168670, P59-X20 & P29-X27. However, the bulk welding process being so fundamentally different that there is essentially no similarity between the feedstock chemistries of a bulk welding powder (to which this disclosure focuses on) and a cored wire (to which 2016/0168670 focuses on). As will be shown, several unsuccessful attempts were made to transition these embodiments into the bulk welding process, and additional inventive effort was required. The bulk welding process can involve four separate constituents which are melted together. The alloy blend as shown in the table below is itself composed of a mixture of different alloying ingredients, in these for example B4C, FeMo, FeB, FeCr, FeNb. The alloy blend if melted together will form a powder chemistry, also shown in the table below. As discovered through the course of this study, particular ingredients of the alloy blend create welding difficulties such as FeMo, B4C, and FeNb. Furthermore, certain powder chemistries create welding difficulties. In the table, all values can additionally be about said value (for example 22.0 wt. % Cr is also about 22.0 wt. % Cr).
In addition to the alloy blend, three other constituents are involved in the bulk welding process which affect the resultant coating chemistry and weld quality: the welding electrode, the substrate, and the flux. The welding electrode and substrate are commonly mild steel alloys and are intended to melt together with the alloy blend to create a coating chemistry. The flux protects the molten metal during the process, but is not intended to significantly affect the coating chemistry. However, certain alloy blend ingredients and powder chemistries will react with the flux producing undesirable results such as flux sticking which is unacceptable in wear plate manufacturing.

Embodiments of alloys of the disclosure can be fully described by certain equilibrium thermodynamic criteria, especially for the powder feedstock. The alloys can meet some, or all, of the described thermodynamic criteria.
In some embodiments, a thermodynamic criterion is the mole fraction of MC carbides MC carbides comprise a face centered cubic structure (FCC) where M comprises Nb, Ti, Zr, V, Ta, and/or Hf. A high mole fraction of MC carbides in the alloy correlates to reduced weld performance including but not limited to reduced arc stability, presence of unmelts in the deposit, poor deposition efficiency, poor surface quality, poor flux detachment characteristics.

In some embodiments, the niobium carbide mole fraction can be ≥2% and <8% (or ≥about 2% and <about 8%).
In some embodiments, a thermodynamic criterion is the mole fraction of total matrix (Total Matrix). Total matrix comprise metallic matrix phases with a face centered cubic body centered cubic structure (FCC or BCC), e.g., the matrix that would be formed in a coating. A high mole fraction of Total Matrix in the alloy correlates to improved weld performance. Low Total Matrix may cause reduced arc stability, presence of unmelts in the deposit, poor deposition efficiency, poor surface quality, and/or poor flux detachment characteristics.
The mole fraction of Total Matrix is measured as the sum, at equilibrium, of all BCC and FCC metallic phases. This criteria is measured at 1300K. In the alloy powder feedstock P59-X29 of

In some embodiments, the Total Boride mole fraction can be ≥70% and <95% (or ≥about 70% and <about 95%).
Embodiments of alloys of the disclosure can be fully described by certain microstructural criteria. The alloys can meet some, or all, of the described microstructural criteria.
In some embodiments, a microstructural criterion is the volume fraction of MC carbides MC carbides comprise a face centered cubic structure (FCC) where M comprises Nb, Ti, Zr, V, Ta, and/or Hf. A high volume fraction of MC carbides in the alloy correlates to reduced weld performance including but not limited to reduced arc stability, presence of unmelts in the deposit, poor deposition efficiency, poor surface quality, poor flux detachment characteristics. M7C3, M23C6, and M3C, are examples of carbides that are not MC carbides.
The volume fraction of MC carbides is the measured as the sum of all carbide phases that adhere to the above composition. Increased MC carbide fraction can be correlated with reduced manufacturing reliability.
In some embodiments, the MC carbide volume fraction can be ≥0.5% and <9.5% (or ≥about 0.5% and <about 9.5%). In some embodiments, the MC carbide volume fraction can be ≥1% and <9.5% (or ≥about 1% and <about 9.5%).

In some embodiments, the niobium carbide volume fraction can be ≥2% and <8% (or ≥about 2% and <about 8%).
In some embodiments, a microstructural criterion is the volume fraction of total matrix (Total Matrix). Total matrix comprises metallic matrix phases with a face centered cubic body centered cubic structure (FCC or BCC). A high volume fraction of Total Matrix in the alloy correlates to improved weld performance. Low Total Matrix may cause reduced arc stability, presence of unmelts in the deposit, poor deposition efficiency, poor surface quality, and/or poor flux detachment characteristics.
The volume fraction of Total Matrix is measured as the sum, at equilibrium, of all BCC and FCC metallic phases. Increased matrix fraction can be correlated with improved manufacturability which may be due to improved fluidity of the weld and improved conductivity improving arc stability of deposition with increasing matrix fractions of a feedstock powder alloy.

In some embodiments, the Total Matrix volume fraction can be ≥5% and <30% (or ≥about 5% and <about 30%).

In some embodiments, the Total Matrix volume fraction can be ≥1% and <30% (or ≥about 1% and <about 30%).
In some embodiments, a microstructural criterion is the volume fraction of total borides. Total Boride criteria is the sum of all boride phases present in the alloy. A high volume fraction of Total Boride in the alloy correlates to improved wear performance of the deposit. Excessively high total boride may cause reduced arc stability, presence of unmelts in the deposit, poor deposition efficiency, poor surface quality, and/or poor flux detachment characteristics.
The total boride volume fraction is measured as the sum of all hard phases comprising boron. Significantly lower levels may lead to insufficient performance in the final deposited coating. Significantly higher fractions may reduce weld fluidity or other weld characteristics that lead to poor deposit performance or manufacturability.
In some embodiments, the Total Boride volume fraction can be ≥40 and <95% (or ≥about 40% and <about 95%). In some embodiments, the Total Boride volume fraction can be ≥40% and <90% (or ≥about 50% and ≥about 90%).

The alloys described in Table 2 (P59-X19, P59-X27, P59-X25, and P59-X29) were welded using a lab scale bulk welding test. The goals of this test are to achieve an acceptably low percentage of unmelted particles, good weld quality, and substrate dilution in the range of 20-38%. Unmelted particles after welding may lead to reduced impact and abrasion resistance.
In some embodiments, the alloy can have less than or equal to 10 volume % (or about 10 volume %) unmelted particles. In some embodiments, the alloy can have less than or equal to 5% (or about 5%) unmelted particles.
Poor weld quality in the form of excessive flux sticking to the weld or porosity in the surface are indicative of conditions that would lead to production problems or low product quality respectively. Dilution must be within the specified range to: 1) ensure that good bonding with the substrate can be reliably achieved in production with excessively low dilution leading to poor bonding; 2) that the base material or substrate is not excessively weakened via thinning in the case of over dilution; and 3) that the weld and base material interface is relatively planar with excessive dilution leading to inconsistent overlay thickness across the bead and thus reduced wear performance of the coating.
In the case of the alloys described in the embodiments of this disclosure, P59-X25 and P59-X29, good weld quality was observed over the range of acceptable dilution with acceptable unmelts and weld quality observed as well. In the case of alloys outside the embodiments of this disclosure, P59-X19 and P59-X27, the only way to achieve good particle melting behavior and weld quality was to increase dilution to unacceptable levels.
The lab scale bulk welding process utilizes a machined mild steel substrate with a roughly rectangular cavity 6 inches by 1.25 inches at a depth of 6 mm. Said cavity is then filled with about 75 g of −250 micron powder blended to the ratios described in table 1. After ensuring the cavity is filled uniformly with powder, the powder is covered with granular welding flux. Above this is an automated welding torch is configured to oscillate at about 27 mm width and traverse at about 9 inches per minute with a contact tip to work distance of about 0.75 to 1.5 inches. Based on the experimental parameter of powder to wire ratio, the feed rate of a solid steel 5/64 inch wire is adjusted to so the ratio of wire to powder is correct after welding. Then the bulk welding proceeds, the flux removed, and the weld/coating deposit is examined for dilution, quality, and level of unmelts.
The P59-X19 wire was first welded at 2.5:1 powder to wire ratio as in Table 2. The result was too low dilution, excessive unmelts, and unacceptable flux to deposit adhesion. In the second test, the powder to wire ratio was reduced to 1.8:1 which yielded an acceptable dilution level but still had unacceptable level of unmelted particles and porosity. A further reduction to a powder to wire ratio of 1.2:1 yielded acceptable unmelt content and weld quality but unacceptable levels of dilution. In conclusion there is no acceptable intersection of the competing properties of unmelted particle content and acceptable dilution range. Similarly for P59-X27 the same result was observed with 1.2:1 yielding excessive dilution but 1.5:1 resulting in excessive unmelts despite proper dilution levels. These cases can be contrasted with P59-X29 and P59-X25 where both good dilution levels, good weld quality, and acceptable levels of unmelts were achieved concurrently.
Wear resistant alloys are often described by their performance in laboratory testing. The disclosed tests correlate well with wear resistant components in service.

From the foregoing description, it will be appreciated that inventive products and approaches for powder feedstocks for wear resistant welding are disclosed. While several components, techniques and aspects have been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is manifest that many changes can be made in the specific designs, constructions and methodology herein above described without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure.
Certain features that are described in this disclosure in the context of separate implementations can also be implemented in combination in a single implementation. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single implementation can also be implemented in multiple implementations separately or in any suitable subcombination. Moreover, although features may be described above as acting in certain combinations, one or more features from a claimed combination can, in some cases, be excised from the combination, and the combination may be claimed as any subcombination or variation of any subcombination.
Moreover, while methods may be depicted in the drawings or described in the specification in a particular order, such methods need not be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, and that all methods need not be performed, to achieve desirable results. Other methods that are not depicted or described can be incorporated in the example methods and processes. For example, one or more additional methods can be performed before, after, simultaneously, or between any of the described methods. Further, the methods may be rearranged or reordered in other implementations. Also, the separation of various system components in the implementations described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all implementations, and it should be understood that the described components and systems can generally be integrated together in a single product or packaged into multiple products. Additionally, other implementations are within the scope of this disclosure.
Conditional language, such as “can,” “could,” “might,” or “may,” unless specifically stated otherwise, or otherwise understood within the context as used, is generally intended to convey that certain embodiments include or do not include, certain features, elements, and/or steps. Thus, such conditional language is not generally intended to imply that features, elements, and/or steps are in any way required for one or more embodiments.
Conjunctive language such as the phrase “at least one of X, Y, and Z,” unless specifically stated otherwise, is otherwise understood with the context as used in general to convey that an item, term, etc. may be either X, Y, or Z. Thus, such conjunctive language is not generally intended to imply that certain embodiments require the presence of at least one of X, at least one of Y, and at least one of Z.
Language of degree used herein, such as the terms “approximately,” “about,” “generally,” and “substantially” as used herein represent a value, amount, or characteristic close to the stated value, amount, or characteristic that still performs a desired function or achieves a desired result. For example, the terms “approximately”, “about”, “generally,” and “substantially” may refer to an amount that is within less than or equal to 10% of, within less than or equal to 5% of, within less than or equal to 1% of, within less than or equal to 0.1% of, and within less than or equal to 0.01% of the stated amount. If the stated amount is 0 (e.g., none, having no), the above recited ranges can be specific ranges, and not within a particular % of the value. For example, within less than or equal to 10 wt./vol. % of, within less than or equal to 5 wt./vol. % of, within less than or equal to 1 wt./vol. % of, within less than or equal to 0.1 wt./vol. % of, and within less than or equal to 0.01 wt./vol. % of the stated amount.
Some embodiments have been described in connection with the accompanying drawings. The figures are drawn to scale, but such scale should not be limiting, since dimensions and proportions other than what are shown are contemplated and are within the scope of the disclosed inventions. Distances, angles, etc. are merely illustrative and do not necessarily bear an exact relationship to actual dimensions and layout of the devices illustrated. Components can be added, removed, and/or rearranged. Further, the disclosure herein of any particular feature, aspect, method, property, characteristic, quality, attribute, element, or the like in connection with various embodiments can be used in all other embodiments set forth herein. Additionally, it will be recognized that any methods described herein may be practiced using any device suitable for performing the recited steps.
While a number of embodiments and variations thereof have been described in detail, other modifications and methods of using the same will be apparent to those of skill in the art. Accordingly, it should be understood that various applications, modifications, materials, and substitutions can be made of equivalents without departing from the unique and inventive disclosure herein or the scope of the claims.
