Properties of ZhS32-VI Powder Alloys with Titanium Carbide

To design a wear-resistant material operated at high temperatures, the physical and mechanical properties of the new nickel alloy (whose components are heat-resistant alloy ZhS32-VI and 30–50% titanium carbide) obtained by powder metallurgy are investigated. It is shown that the temperature where the alloy starts melting is 1360 ± 10°C, the wear resistance at <1050°C doubles that of nickel-based powder alloys with titanium carbide, while the heat resistance at 1100°C satisfies the requirements of the intended alloys. It is shown that the obtained alloy can be plasma-sprayed onto the blade material and used for protecting the contacting surfaces of GTE blades against wear.
