Abstract
An article of manufacture having a wear-resistant cylindrical surface is made up of a metallurgically tough base steel with a substantially cylindrical surface, a thin, cylindrical metal sleeve mated to and affixed to the cylindrical surface of the base steel, and a composite metallic coating containing particles having a hardness greater than Rockwell C 70 metallurgically bonded to the surface of the sleeve opposite the base steel/sleeve interface.
Claims19
An article of manufacture having a wear-resistant cylindrical surface, said article of manufacture comprising:
- a base component with a substantially cylindrical surface, said base component being made of steel having a Charpy impact strength of over 30 foot pounds and a tensile strength of over 120,000 pounds per square inch;
- a cylindrical metal sleeve, defining inner and outer surfaces, mated to and affixed to the substantially cylindrical surface of the base component at one of its inner and outer surfaces, said sleeve being made of steel and having a Rockwell C hardness of less than 40 over at least 50% of its thickness and having less than 15% Martensite;
- and
- a composite metallic coating containing particles having a hardness of greater than Rockwell C 70 metallurgically bonded to the other of the inner and outer surfaces of the sleeve.
An article of manufacture having a cylindrical outer wear surface, comprising:
- a base component having a substantially cylindrical outer surface, said base component being made of steel having more than about 40% Martensite;
- a substantially cylindrcal sleeve mounted on the outer surface of said base by an interference fit, said sleeve being made of a steel having less than about 15% Martensite and having a Rockwell C hardness of less than 40 for greater than 50% of its thickness;
- and
- a composite metallic coating at least 50% metallurgically bonded to the outer surface of said cylindrical sleeve, said coating containing particles having a hardness of greater than Rockwell C 70.
An article of manufacture having a cylindrical inner wear surface, comprising:
- a base component having a substantially cylindrical inner surface, said base component being made of steel having more than about 40% Martensite;
- a substantially cylindrical sleeve mounted on the inner surface of said base by an interference fit, said sleeve being made of a steel having less than about 15% Martensite and having a Rockwell C hardness of less than 40 for greater than 50% of its thickness;
- and
- a composite metallic coating at least 50% metallurgically bonded to the inner surface of said cylindrical sleeve, said coating containing particles having a hardness of greater than Rockwell C 70.
An article of manufacture having a wear-resistant cylindrical surface, said article of manufacture comprising:
- a base component made of a hardenable low alloy steel with a tensile strength of over 120,000 pounds per square inch;
- a cylindrical metal sleeve, defining inner and outer surfaces, mated to and affixed to the substantially cylindrical surface of the base component at one of its inner and outer surfaces, said sleeve being made of steel having a Rockwell C hardness of less than 40 over at least 50% of its thickness;
- and
- a composite metallic coating containing particles having a hardness of greater than Rockwell C 70 metallurgically bonded to the other of the inner and outer surfaces of the sleeve.
