Tensile and wear properties of aluminium (Al) based metal matrix composites (MMCs) was prepared by added titanium diboride (TiB2) with in-situ technique by salt route. The salts used in this research were potassium hexafluorotitanate (K2TiF6) and potassium tetrafluoroborate (KBF4). Nanocomposite samples were prepared by casting technique associated with incorporating 3 and 6 wt.% of TiB2 into matrix of Al-6wt.%Cu. Instron and wear tests machine were used to characterize the tensile and wear Al-Cu alloys properties. Results showed that increase in TiB2 content gave the high properties of tensile and wear behavior. The study indicates that TiB2 particles have giving improvement the wear performance of the Al–6wt.%Cu alloy. For a constant load and sliding speed, the wear rate decreases as a function of amount of TiB2 in the composite. The wear rate decrease with increasing in wt.% TiB2 particles for the all loads applied. However, addition of TiB2 particle to the Al–6 wt%.Cu matrix has show the coefficient value of wear decreases regardless of applied load. Study of the wear surfaces both alloy and composites by optical microscope suggests that the improvement in wear resistance is mainly due to the formation of finer groove or debris by content of TiB2.

A kind of (Fe,Cr)7C3particles reinforced iron matrix composite was prepared by metallurgical bonding between Cr wires and gray cast iron at 1200°C with subsequent heat treatment. The obtained composites were comparatively characterized by XRD, SEM and microhardness tests. The results showed that the composites mainly consisted of α-Fe matrix and the reinforcements of particle bundles, which include (Fe,Cr)7C3 carbides and γ-Fe. The cross-section of the reinforcements gradually increase with heat treatment time, and the microstructures change from eutectic to hypoeutectic, the morphologies of the reinforcements present chrysanthemum-shaped, granular and intercrystalline eutectics.

Al-10Sn matrix composites reinforced by TiB2 particles were fabricated by Mixed Salt Reaction in situ synthesis process. The oil lubricated sliding wear tests of composites and matrix alloy were conducted on a small thrust ring versus disc wear testing machine at room temperature under different applied loads and the wear surfaces were observed using SEM. The results indicate that the coefficient of friction, friction temperature, and wear weight loss increase with the increase of applied loads, but compared with matrix alloy, the composites exhibit better anti-friction property and higher wear resistance. The analysis of wear surface suggests that light ploughing is predominant for composites and matrix alloy at low loads, and ploughing is still predominant for composites at high loads, but adhesion and delamination are predominant for matrix alloy at high loads

In the study, Ti fiber (200 μm, 99.8 wt.%) and pure aluminum (99.6 wt.%) were respectively used as the reaction source and matrix to prepare Al-based composites by in-situ synthesis methods. During the stage of preparing the preform, Ti fibers were fixed in the matrix at equal intervals to pre-control the initial position of the product. The preform was heated in an induction heating device finally, at the same time, parameter combinations of different frequencies and currents were applied to promote the in-situ reaction between Al-Ti, thereby the Al matrix composites reinforced by Al3Ti were obtained. The phase composition, microstructure and wear resistance of the composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and wear testers. The results show that when the frequency and current are 5 kHz and 15 A respectively, the Ti fiber is completely reacted, and the product is the isometric Al3Ti with a size of 1 – 2 μm and a particle spacing of about 5 μm, reaching the optimal microstructure under all parameters. Under the condition of a load of 9.8 N, the wear rate of the composites at 5 kHz and 15 A is 2.325 mg/mm2, indicating the best values in this experiment.

High manganese matrix composite, reinforced by TiC particles, was synthesized in situ by means of conventional powder metallurgy route. The microstructure was investigated by means of Scanning electron microscopy. Pin-on-disc dry sliding wear tests had been carried out to study the wear behavior of TiC-reinforced high manganese steel matrix composites. The results show that TiC carbides are distributed uniformly in the composite. The abrasive wear resistance of the composites is higher than that of the unreinforced high manganese steel.
