Abstract
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.

A hard component portion-metal alloy powder blend comprising:
- about 0.5 wt % to about 95 wt % of a hard component portion;
- and
- about 5 wt % to about 99.5 wt % of a metal alloy,
- wherein the metal alloy comprises at least about 40 weight (wt) % of nickel (Ni) but not more than about 48 wt % of nickel (Ni), at least about 26 wt % of cobalt (Co) and at least about 26% wt % of iron (Fe), and
- wherein all wt % are based on total weight of the hard component portion-metal alloy powder blend.
