Title

(EN) METAL ALLOY COMPRISING NICKEL, COBALT, AND IRON, AND COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF

(FR) ALLIAGE MÉTALLIQUE COMPRENANT DU NICKEL, DU COBALT ET DU FER, ET COMPOSITIONS ET UTILISATIONS ASSOCIÉES

Abstract

(EN) The present application relates to metal alloys. More specifically, the present application relates to metal alloys comprising nickel, cobalt and iron, and to powder blends thereof with a hard component portion comprising a hard component such as tungsten carbide. The present application also relates to uses thereof to form metal-matrix composites and metal-matrix composite products using, for example, additive manufacturing processes such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), and to the metal-matrix composites and metal-matrix composite products formed therefrom.

(FR) La présente demande concerne des alliages métalliques. Plus spécifiquement, la présente demande concerne des alliages métalliques comprenant du nickel, du cobalt et du fer, et des mélanges de poudres de ceux-ci avec une partie de composant dur comprenant un composant dur tel que du carbure de tungstène. La présente demande concerne également des utilisations de ceux-ci pour former des composites à matrice métallique et des produits composites à matrice métallique à l'aide, par exemple, de procédés de fabrication additive tels que la fusion laser sur lit de poudre (LPBF), et les composites à matrice métallique et les produits composites à matrice métallique formés à partir de ceux-ci.
