The present study investigates the high temperature tribological performance of spark plasma sintered, nano- and micron-sized tungsten carbide (WC) bonded by 9 wt.% cobalt (Co). The composites were fabricated using a two-step procedure of mixing followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Ball-on-disc wear tests were conducted at a normal load of 30 N, linear speed of 0.1 m/s under dry conditions and at three different temperatures (room temperature, 300 °C and 600 °C). Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), optical profilometry and energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) spectroscopy were used to analyze the surface morphology and the wear track area. At room temperature, it was observed that the nano-sized WC composites exhibited better wear resistance than the micron-sized WC composites. The wear resistance of the nano-sized samples declined significantly relative to that of the micron-sized samples with an increase in temperature. This decline in performance was attributed to the higher surface area of nano-sized WC particles, which underwent rapid oxidation at elevated temperatures, resulting in poor wear resistance. The wear rate observed at 600 °C for the micron-sized WC composites was 75% lower than that of the nano-sized cemented carbide. Oxidative wear was observed to be the predominant wear mechanism for both cemented carbide samples at elevated temperatures.

This paper describes the structure and properties of an innovative Fe-Al-Si alloy with a reduced amount of silicon (5 wt. %) in order to avoid excessive brittleness. The alloy was produced by a combination of mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering. Nickel and titanium were independently tested as the alloying elements for this alloy. It was found that wear resistance, which reached values comparable with tool steels, could be further improved by the addition of nickel. Nickel also improved the high-temperature oxidation behavior, because it lowers the liability of the oxide layers to spallation. Both nickel and titanium increased the hardness of the alloy. Titanium negatively influenced oxidation behavior and wear resistance because of the presence of titanium dioxide in the oxide layer and the brittle silicides that caused chipping wear, respectively.
