Conclusions
-
1.
An investigation was carried out into the variation of some properties of (TiC-MeC)-NiMo alloys, where Me is vanadium, niobium, or tantalum, with their MeC content (2–25 mole % in the binary carbide). The following properties were studied: transverse rupture and compressive strengths, hardness, impact strength, modulus of elasticity, coefficient of thermal expansion, oxidation resistance, antifriction characteristics exhibited during rubbing against chromium cast iron, and internal friction background.
-
2.
It is shown that the addition to the hard phase of up to 5 mole % VC and 5–15 mole % NbC or TaC has a beneficial effect on many properties of these alloys, which is a result of a slight increase in the ductility of their carbide grains.
-
3.
The alloys are potentially useful as materials for metalworking tools and as high-temperature constructional materials.
