ABSTRACT
WoodsAlloy 105 is one of many alloys of the WoodsAlloy family that Dr. Woods has developed over the years for many specialty applications. Presently there are several WoodsAlloys being used for various corrosion and wear applications from the sparkplug manufacturing business to paper processing and rendering applications. Many of the alloys incorporate high ductility and toughness while still providing excellent wear and corrosion protection. These alloys certainly diprove the myth that in order to achieve good wear resistance, the alloy must be very hard. WoodsAlloy 105 is unique in that it transforms to martensite at an elevated temperature and autotempers upon cooling to room temperature to form a tempered martensitic structure. The beauty of this property is that WoodsAlloy 105 can be cast to near net shape, cooled to room temperature, and the resultant microstructure of the as-cast part is a tempered martensite of Rockwell C 40 to 50. The material can be easily machined using standard machining techniques, with the proper knowledge of feeds and speeds, and can be used for a wide variety of applications. Near net shape casting allows for the formation of dificult to make molds, punch dies, die casting cores, and other tooling. The material is very wear resistant and extremely thermally stable. Being able to cast a near net shape that winds up as thru hardened tempered matensite when it reaches room temperature allows for the production of tooling quicker, cheaper and with no subsequent heat treatment necessary.
SPEAKER BIO
Dr. Charles M. Woods, Global Manufacturing Solutions, Inc.
Dr. Woods received his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from St. John Fisher College, Rochester, New York, and his PhD degree In Materials Science and Engineering from Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa. He is presently President of Global Manufacturing Solutions, Inc. Dayton, Ohio. Dr. Woods has worked at Argonne National Laboratories, Ames National Laboratories, and The Mound Research Facility before founding Global Manufacturing Solutions, Inc. in 1995. Dr. Woods is a materials scientist/engineer who has invented and patented several alloys, devices, explosive components, and airbag devices as well as inventing and building several machines and systems for doing specialized material fabrication etc. He has developed techniques, all still in production, for bi-casting hard wear resistant materials for several applications to the precision forming of titanium for medical applications. Dr. Woods is a member of ASM International, and has served in the capacity of Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Dayton Chapter for the past 4 years.
