<strong>KenCast</strong> Hardness Properties<br />
Hardness ranges for composite ingredients:<br />
• tungsten carbide = 86-91 HRA<br />
• matrix steel<br />
(bonded to carbide)<br />
= 52-58 HRC<br />
• base steel = 38-50 HRC<br />
Steel matrix composition:<br />
• carbon = .28-.35<br />
• manganese = 1.5-2.0<br />
• silicon = 1.3-1.7<br />
• aluminum = .08-.15<br />
Steel matrix benefits:<br />
• nickel = 1.0-2.0<br />
• chrome = .80-1.2<br />
• molybdenum = .20-.30<br />
• patented composition<br />
• air-hardening matrix; no heat treatment necessary<br />
• special compositions available upon request<br />
• matrix is easily weldable<br />
• machining of matrix not recommended<br />
• hardness comparable to specialty abrasion-resistant steels
