Abstract
Systems and methods described herein may include pumps and pump components including carbon-manganese-chromium (C—Mn—Cr)-based steel alloys for enhanced resistance to wear or corrosion. A pump component may include one or more components formed of a C—Mn—Cr-based ferrous alloy, which may result in enhanced wear or corrosion resistance. The C—Mn—Cr-based ferrous alloy may include a carbon content ranging from about 0.1 weight percent (wt. %) to about 2 wt. %, a manganese content ranging from about 10 wt. % to about 30 wt. %, and a chromium content ranging from about 0.1 wt. % to about 20 wt. %.
Claims42
A pump component including a carbon-manganese-chromium (C—Mn—Cr)-based ferrous alloy, the C—Mn—Cr-based ferrous alloy comprising:
- a carbon content ranging from about 0.1 weight percent (wt. %) to about 2 wt. %;
- a manganese content ranging from about 10 wt. % to about 30 wt. %;
- and
- a chromium content ranging from about 0.1 wt. % to about 20 wt. %,
- thereby to enhance one or more of wear resistance or corrosion resistance of the pump component.
A pump including one or more pump components, the one or more pump components including a carbon-manganese-chromium (C—Mn—Cr)-based ferrous alloy, the C—Mn—Cr-based ferrous alloy comprising:
- a carbon content ranging from about 0.1 weight percent (wt. %) to about 2 wt. %;
- a manganese content ranging from about 10 wt. % to about 30 wt. %;
- and
- a chromium content ranging from about 0.1 wt. % to about 20 wt. %,
- thereby to enhance one or more of wear resistance or corrosion resistance of the one or more pump components.
A method for enhancing one or more of wear resistance or corrosion resistance of a pump component, the method comprising:
- forming the pump component from a carbon-manganese-chromium (C—Mn—Cr)-based ferrous alloy, the C—Mn—Cr-based ferrous alloy comprising:
- a carbon content ranging from about 0.1 weight percent (wt. %) to about 2 wt. %,
- a manganese content ranging from about 10 wt. % to about 30 wt. %, and
- a chromium content ranging from about 0.1 wt. % to about 20 wt. %,
- thereby to enhance the one or more of the wear resistance or the corrosion resistance of the pump component.
A method for enhancing one or more of wear resistance or corrosion resistance of a pump, the method comprising:
- separating a first pump component from the pump;
- and
- replacing the first pump component with a second pump component, the second pump component including a carbon-manganese-chromium (C—Mn—Cr)-based ferrous alloy comprising:
- a carbon content ranging from about 0.1 weight percent (wt. %) to about 2 wt. %,
- a manganese content ranging from about 10 wt. % to about 30 wt. %, and
- a chromium content ranging from about 0.1 wt. % to about 20 wt. %,
- thereby to enhance the one or more of the wear resistance or the corrosion resistance of the pump.
