CC484K | CuSn12Ni2 L-PBF on 1.7225 | 42CrMo4

Numeric designationCC484Kbuild-up welded on 1.7225
Chemical designationCuSn12Ni2 build-up welded on 42CrMo4
StateL-PBF (Laser Powder Bed Fusion)
EtchingKlemm III

By means of a L-PBF, the bronze CuSn12Ni2 was welded as a powder onto the quenched and tempered steel. The sliding bearing layer still contains some micropores that can act as lubricant deposits.
The microstructure was developed by colour etching according to Klemm III and shows a very fine-grained, 2-phase microstructure.
