Embodiments of the invention relate to methods of making articles having portions of polycrystalline diamond bonded to a surface of a substrate and polycrystalline diamond compacts made using the same. In an embodiment, a molding technique is disclosed for forming cutting tools comprising polycrystalline diamond portions bonded to the outer surface of a substrate.

The present invention provides a low cost pre-alloyed iron based powder which has high compressibility, capable of rendering a compacted and sintered component high green density, (GD), and high sintered density, (SD). Also, a method or process for producing components, especially gears, including compaction of powder mixture containing the pre-alloyed iron-based powder, sintering of the compacted component, Low Pressure carburizing, (LPC), High Pressure Gas Quenching, (HPGQ), and tempering, is provided. In one embodiment, the process includes high temperature sintering. Other aspects of the present invention include a powder mixture containing the pre-alloyed iron based powder and components produced by the new process from the powder mixture. Such carburized components exhibit a hard surface combined with a softer and tougher core, necessary properties for e.g. automotive gears subjected to harsh environment.

A method for manufacturing a ground engaging component is disclosed. The method includes providing a mixture of compacted powders including carbon, titanium, and a first alloy, the first alloy having a first composition and heating the mixture to a temperature and for a duration sufficient to combine the mixture to form an insert having a desired shape. The method further includes locating the insert in a desired position in a mold and casting a second alloy having a second composition into the mold, the second alloy forming a ground engaging component with the insert bonded therein.

A sprocket wheel, which is an example of the machine component, includes a base made of a first metal, and an overlay disposed in contact with the base to cover at least a part of a surface of the base. The overlay includes a matrix made of a second metal, and hard particles dispersed in the matrix. The surface of the overlay is a forged surface. The hard particles located in an overlay surface region within an average particle diameter of the hard particles from the surface of the overlay are arranged side by side while being embedded in the overlay.

Various embodiments of a reactant feed and return assembly, such as an anode splitter plate (ASP), are provided for facilitating reactant feed and exhaust flow in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack system. Embodiments include a reactant feed and return assembly including at least a first portion formed of a chromium-based alloy, such as a chromium-iron alloy, having a similar coefficient of thermal expansion as other SOFC components and may therefore reduce internal stress in an SOFC stack. Methods for making an a reactant feed and return assembly comprising a chromium-based alloy are also provided.
