Diamond 25 Chrome White Iron Data Sheet
on May 4, 2016Diamond 25 Alloy
Diamond 25 is a hypereutectic high chrome white iron alloy. The microstructure is 40% carbides by volume with the remainder being martensite. With the increased amount of Cr present in the iron the hardness of the M7C3 carbides is higher. The high CVF and harder carbides leads to an increased abrasion resistance. Castings poured with this alloy can be machined, but not drilled and tapped. Machining would be done for fit surfaces only. To find out why chrome white iron is so abrasion resistant read this.

Applications
This alloy meets the requirements for many applications:
- mining crusher liners
- chute liners
- dredge pumping
- impellers
- crushing bars
- anvils
- hammers
- mining crusher parts
Corrosion Resistance
This alloy has good corrosion resistance. For a more extreme corrosion environment and abrasive wear mechanism consider using an alloy with 28-30% Cr.
Processing
This alloy is supplied in the hardened condition.
It can be machined and faced for fit purposes, but it can’t be drilled and tapped.
Inserts can be cast in if drilling and tapping is necessary.
