Abstract
The effect of iron additions in the range 5 to 15 wt % iron inclusive on the microstructure and properties of two Co-Mn-Cr-Si wear resistant alloys (“Tribaloys” T400 and T800) has been investigated. Iron additions were found to stabilize the f c c form of the cobalt solid solution, to give a fully eutectic matrix and to decrease the volume fraction of the primary Laves phase. These microstructural modifications have little effect on the plane strain fracture toughness but result in a significant increase in the modulus of rupture. The addition of iron induces only minor changes in the corrosion and oxidation resistance of T800, whereas the performance of T400 deteriorates.
