Abstract: Fe based cast alloys with double phases structure of m etastable austenite m atrix an d eutecticcarbide M7 C3 were provided with the excellent properties of high abrasion resistance andhigher i m pact toughness . An i m portant reason of high abrasion resistance is hard ness violentincreasing on the m atrix surface because of w ear easily induced m artensite transfor m ation . The exploitation and applications of m etastable austenite m atrix wear alloys of Fe C Cr Nisyste m and Fe C Cr Mn system were described in this paper . The excellent properties of thesealloys w ill be sufficiently indicated by authors’exa m ples . To exploit a class of these alloyswith high abrasion resistance and various im pact toughness for m eeting the requirem ent of dif ferent environ ment , the proble m of the structure design of metastable austenite m atrix wearalloy w as also described in this paper .

Key words: Fe based wear alloy , metastable austenite m atrix , abrasion in ducedm artensite , alloy structure design
