Abstract

Constitutive liquid phase sintering is used to obtain fully dense parts of powdered STELLITE Alloy No. 6 PM (Co-29Cr-4.5W-l.2C- < 1B) with excellent wear resistance at elevated temperature. This alloy is characterized by a cobalt-rich fcc solid solution and interdendritic carbide phases in the as-atomized state. Compositional changes in the carbides prior to, and during, the liquid phase sintering were investigatedvia X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, and Auger electron spectroscopy. The rejection of boron and cobalt by an M23C6-type carbide was identified as leading to the local formation of the liquid phase. A mechanism for the interactive role of the carbide composition change and the constitutive liquid phase sintering is proposed.
