Abstract
Allomet Corporation is producing a class of revolutionary pseudoalloys that promise the highest extremes of fracture toughness, hardness, wear resistance, light weight, and low coefficient of friction ever known. Designed nanostructures are created by deagglomerating and nanoencapsulating extremely hard 0.5-2.0 micron core particles (e.g., diamond, cBN, TiN, Al 2O3, ...) with very tough materials (e.g., tungsten carbide + cobalt), which in the consolidation process become the contiguous matrix. As many unique properties can coexist throughout the structure of a TCHP (Tough-Coated Hard Particles) variety as there are different core particle materials present in the uniform tough substrate. Very high strength, potential for double-digit component and tool life multiples, and reduced friction and thermal losses combine to enable major cost, energy, and environmental impact improvements.
