Product Specification: LION® R30900 (T-900 Type) Cobalt-Based Alloy
LION® R30900 is a premium cobalt-based super-alloy specifically engineered for applications demanding extreme wear resistance. It belongs to the high-performance family of alloys that utilize a hard, intermetallic 라베스 단계 (formed by Molybdenum and Silicon) dispersed within a tough cobalt-chromium-nickel matrix. This unique microstructure ensures exceptional performance in high-load, non-lubricated, and highly corrosive environments.
1. 주요 성능 이점
- Superior Galling Resistance: The Laves phase provides a low-coefficient of friction and prevents metal-to-metal welding (galling) or scoring even under extreme contact pressure.
- High-Temperature Red Hardness: Unlike many stainless steels, LION® R30900 maintains its significant mechanical strength and hardness at temperatures reaching 870°C (1600°F).
- Enhanced Fracture Toughness: Specially formulated with an optimized 니켈(Ni) content (approx. 16%), it offers significantly better crack resistance and weldability compared to traditional T-800 series alloys.
- Oxidation & Corrosion Resistance: Provides excellent chemical stability in aggressive media, including organic acids, and remains highly resistant to oxidation in hot air atmospheres.

4. 주요 용도
LION® R30900 is the material of choice for critical components in the following sectors:
- 항공 우주 : Aircraft bleed air valves, turbine engine bushings, and high-temperature support vanes.
- Oil & Gas: High-pressure mechanical seal rings, pump shaft sleeves, and downhole tool wear parts.
- 발전: Steam turbine valve seats, boiler feed pump components, and high-pressure steam seals.
- 자동차 : Turbocharger internal wastegate components and high-performance exhaust valve train parts.
5. Fabrication & Machining Guidance
- Welding & Cladding: Highly recommended for PTA(플라즈마 이송 아크) 그리고 Laser Cladding. Due to the addition of Nickel, preheating requirements can be reduced to approximately 260°C (500°F).
- 가공: Due to the hard intermetallic phases, rigid machine setups and carbide or ceramic tooling are required. Low cutting speeds and constant feed rates are essential to achieve a high-quality surface finish.
