Obtaining mechanically fused modifying ligatures with a high content of alloying component for the production of chrome bronzes by F. G. Lovshenko, I. A. Lozikov

“…The results of the topography of granules and their structure are presented, showing that the granules obtained according to the optimal mode of mechanical fusion are dense bodies with microinclusions of chromium, the maximum size of which does not exceed 15–20 microns.Based on the results of thermodynamic modeling, thermodynamically justified refractory compounds synthesized in the process of obtaining a ligature have been established, which should effectively perform the role of modifiers of the first kind, ensuring the production of bronzes with a sub‑/microcrystalline type of base structure.The processes of compacting mechanically fused compositions were optimized and the influence of the main technological factors – the heating temperature of cold‑pressed briquettes and the extraction coefficient during hot pressing on the physical and mechanical properties of compact materials was investigated. …”
