A high strength and corrosion resistant ferrochrome alloy bulk is disclosed, which comprises, in weight percent: 30-68% Cr, 1.5-8% Ni, 1.6-6% C, and the balance Fe and incidental impurities, of which a Fe/Ni ratio is in a range from 5 to 10 and a Cr/C ratio is in a range between 10 and 33. Experimental data reveal that, samples of the high strength and corrosion resistant ferrochrome alloy bulk all possess hardness above HV400 and excellent corrosion resistance due to the high content of Cr. As a result, experimental data have proved that the high-strength and corrosion-resistant ferrochrome alloy bulk of the present invention has a significant potential to replace conventional high-strength stainless steels, so as to be widely applied in various industrial fields, e.g., aviation, transportation, marine facility components, chemical equipment and pipe fittings, engine parts, turbine blades, valves, bearings, building materials, and so on.

Bearing steel comprising cubic boron nitride (c-BN) and/or nickel coated cBN spark plasma sintered at a temperature in the range of 850-1050° C. is disclosed. The tribological and corrosion resistance of the bearing steel improved with increasing the amount of c-BN. Further improvement in the properties was achieved with the incorporation of nickel coated c-BN, which caused a phase transition of the bearing steel from magnetic to non-magnetic phase accompanied by interdiffusion enhancement between the matrix and c-BN reinforcement.

A method of manufacturing an extruded material of carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum matrix composite having improved corrosion resistance, and the extruded material manufactured thereby are proposed. The method may include manufacturing an extruded material comprising an aluminum-carbon nanotube composite material and forming a hard oxide film on the surface of the extruded material by anodizing the extruded material in a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and oxalic acid. The method can form a hard oxide film with excellent corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, and insulation properties on the surface of a composite material (an extruded material of carbon nanotube reinforced aluminum matrix composite material), which is known to be difficult to conduct hard anodizing due to the difference in corrosion characteristics between materials and, accordingly, the usability of the composite material can be significantly improved.
