Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for producing a hardwearing or wear-resistant material. In one aspect, a first group of materials comprising zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and one or both of calcium oxide (CaO) and yttrium oxide (Y2O3) may be mixed, heated, and cooled to yield a first mixture. The first mixture may be used to generate granules that may then be mixed with a second group of materials comprising iron, nickel, manganese, titanium, carbon, chromium, and optionally, a paraffin, to yield a second mixture. The second mixture may then be compressed, cast, cooled, and heat treated to yield the hardwearing or wear-resistant material.

A process for producing a wear-resistant material, the process comprising:
- providing a first group of materials, the first group of materials comprising zirconium dioxide and aluminum oxide;
- mixing the first group of materials to produce a first mixture;
- crushing the first mixture to produce a plurality of granules;
- providing a second group of materials, the second group of materials comprising carbon, chromium, and iron;
- mixing the second group of materials with the plurality of granules to produce a second mixture;
- and
- casting the second mixture with a liquid metal to produce the wear-resistant material.
