In this paper, the features of the strength, fractures, and tribological behavior of metal-matrix composites based on the FeGr1 material are discussed. To improve the material properties, a mixture of SiC, Al2O3 and C nanoparticulates have been added to an iron-based matrix. The simplex lattice design method and hardness, compression, and bending tests were used to determine the mechanical properties. Scanning electron microscopy was applied for fracture features analysis. Different fracture types, mainly trans-crystalline quasi-brittle and brittle fracture or inter-granular fracture and microcracks were registered for the composites tested. Depending on the type and amount of ceramic additives, significant changes in strength, as well as in the fracture features of the metal-matrix composites (MMCs), were observed. Based on tribological tests, changes in the momentary coefficients of friction, temperature of the friction surface, and wear rate of the composites with nanoparticulates were described. An analysis of the worn surface morphology revealed changes in the wear process depending on the MMC composition. It was shown that the use of hybrid mixed additives based on hard ceramic nanoparticulates improved both strength and tribological properties of composites.

TiC-reinforced metal matrix composites were fabricated by laser cladding and FeCrCoNiAlTiC high entropy alloy powder. The heat of the laser formed a TiC phase, which was consistent with the thermodynamic calculation, and produced a coating layer without interfacial defects. TiC reinforcing particles exhibited various morphologies, such as spherical, blocky, and dendritic particles, depending on the heat input and coating depth. A dendritic morphology is observed in the lower part of the coating layer near the AISI 304 substrate, where heat is rapidly transferred. Low heat input leads to an inhomogeneous microstructure and coating depth due to the poor fluidity of molten pool. On the other hand, high heat input dissolved reinforcing particles by dilution with the substrate. The coating layer under the effective heat input of 50 J/mm2 had relatively homogeneous blocky particles of several micrometers in size. The micro-hardness value of the coating layer is over 900 HV, and the nano-hardness of the reinforcing particles and the matrix were 17 GPa and 10 GPa, respectively.

The present study aims to develop silica sand nanoparticles using the ball-milling process and to utilize these nanoparticles as reinforcement for iron-based metal matrix composites. Iron-based metal-matrix composites with 5, 10, 15 and 20wt.% of the processed silica sand nanoparticles were developed using powder metallurgy technique and sintered at 900°C, 1000°C and 1100°C. The results showed that the addition of silica sand nanoparticles to iron as reinforcement decreased the green density, albeit with an improvement in sintered densities. It was also observed that the increase in the sintering temperature results in an improvement of microstructure and microhardness of the composites. The maximum hardness of 168HV in iron-based composites was found with the addition of 20wt.% of silica sand nanoparticles at a 1100°C sintering temperature. It is proposed that the mechanism for the occurrence of this observed increment in microhardness is due to diffusion of silica sand nanoparticles into porous sites of the composites, resulting in the formation of FeSi phase.
