A family of nickel-base metal matrix composites manufactured by a hot isostatic pressing process that transforms a proprietary mix of powdered metals into a hard corrosion-resistant surface has been designed by Cignys, Saginaw, Mich. Called Sagittite, the materials are made by a solid-state diffusion process.

For example, Sagittite 10 contains 30% by volume chromium carbide particles in a toughened matrix, with hardness of 53 to 57 HRC. It was originally designed for food industry applications requiring high resistance to wear and corrosion, but has since been applied in the ...
