Allomet EternAloy® grade powders can be pressed exactly like Tungsten Carbide Alloys utilizing the same tooling. Users can then sinter HIP pressed powders to finished parts utilizing parameters available from Allomet. EternAloy® grade is a viable alternative to Tungsten Carbide in a wide variety of wear parts such as Nozzles, Sleeves, Bushings, Guide Plates and Oil, Gas and Mining Components that will not require new investment in tooling.
Allomet EternAloy® grade is available in a variety of core particles and design features that can be tailored for the application to provide the highest level of performance in terms of extended wear life, reduced friction and weight reduction. Some examples of the core particles that can be consolidated into EternAloy® grade powder are Titanium CarboNitride, Aluminum Oxide, polycrystalline Diamond, cubic Boron Nitride, Titanium Nitride and Silicon Carbide.
Available Compositions:Al2O3 Core Particle with WC-Co Matrix
Ti(C,N) Core Particle with WC-Co Matrix
In addition to the variety of core particles that can be consolidated, other design parameters that can be modified to tailor EternAloy® grade to provide specific performance enhancements are: Increasing or decreasing core particle size, increasing or decreasing the thickness of the WC coating, increasing or decreasing core volume percentage, powders of different thickness, diameter and core material particle parameters, and transitioning from zones or layers of one powder to another or others with different wear characteristics.

The ability of TCHP grades to maintain high hardness at elevated temperatures is a key benefit that is unmatched by WC-CO tools. This is especially critical where high temperatures are generated by the operating conditions. Sintered TCHP wear parts and components will achieve productivity gains through higher process rates and/or longer operating life.
