Process for making metallic alloys using precarburized ferroalloys

摘要

A process for forming a metallic alloy having improved material strength and resistance to wear and impact includes precarburizing master alloys to form fine metallic carbides dispersed in a metallic matrix. The metallic carbides are added as precarburized master alloys to a melt and are dissolved to provide a homogeneous distribution of stable carbide particles in the metallic matrix.
