<p>A refiner disk (26) or disk segment (42) cast from a stainless steel alloy having a composition of 0.2 percent to 0.6 percent carbon, 0.5 to 1.5 percent manganese, 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent silicon, a maximum of 0.05 percent sulfur, a maximum of 0.05 percent phosphorus, 14 percent to 18 percent chromium, 2 percent to 5 percent nickel, 2 percent to 4 percent copper, a maximum of 1 percent molybdenum, 1.5 percent to 5.0 percent niobium, a maximum of 1.5 percent vanadium, and a maximum of 0.5 percent total of at least one element selected from either rare earth metals and/or magnesium, the balance being iron. The niobium and vanadium form discrete carbides at high temperatures during the melting process. The rare earth metals and/or magnesium enhances the toughness of the disk by helping to shape the carbides and control them as discrete particles. Upon cooling, the carbides are preferably distributed evenly throughout the structure. This resultant alloy provides toughness and corrosion resistance like a lower carbon alloy plus increased wear resistance due to the carbide formation. The alloy utilizes chromium to impart corrosion resistance, the process of tying up carbon as discrete, non-chromium carbides increases the amount of chromium present to provide corrosion resistance.</p> |
