Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021191009A1] Disclosed is a cobalt-free tungsten carbide-based hard-metal material comprising 70-97 wt% of hard-material particles which are at least predominantly formed by tungsten carbide and 3-30 wt% of a metallic binder which is an iron-nickel-based alloy comprising at least iron, nickel and chromium with a ratio of Fe to (Ni + Fe) of 0.70≤ Fe/(Fe + Ni) ≤ 0.95; a Cr content of 0.5 wt% ≤ Cr/(Fe + Ni + Cr) and (i) for the range 0.7 ≤ Fe/(Fe + Ni) ≤ 0.83: Cr/(Fe + Ni + Cr) ≤ (- 0.625 * (Fe/(Fe + Ni)) +3.2688) wt%; (ii) for the range 0.83 ≤ Fe/(Fe + Ni) ≤ 0.85: Cr/(Fe + Ni + Cr) ≤ (- 27.5 * (Fe/(Fe + Ni)) + 25.575) wt% and (iii) for the range 0.85 ≤ Fe/(Fe + Ni) ≤ 0.95: Cr/(Fe + Ni + Cr) ≤ 2.2 wt%; optionally with an Mo content relative to (Fe + Ni + Cr) of 0 wt% ≤ Mo/(Fe + Ni + Cr) ≤ 10 wt%; optionally with a V content relative to (Fe + Ni + Cr) of 0 wt% ≤ V/(Fe + Ni + Cr) ≤ 2 wt%; and unavoidable impurities up to a total of not more than 1 wt% of the hard-metal material.
