AbstractThe volume fraction, dissolution, and segregation of WC particles in metal-matrix composites (MMCs) are critical to their wear resistance. Low carbon steel substrates were precoated with NiCrBSi coatings and processed with gas tungsten arc melt injection method to fabricate MMCs with high volume fraction of WC particles. The microstructures and wear resistance of the composites were investigated. The results showed that the volume fraction of WC particles increased with decreasing hopper height and was as high as 44% when hopper height was 100 mm. The dissolution of WC particles was minimal. The content of the alloying elements decreased from the top to the bottom of the matrix. More WC particles dissolved in the overlapping area, where Fe3W3C carbide blocks could be found. The wear loss of the MMCs after 40 min was 6.9 mg, which is 76 times less than that of the substrate after the 4 min test.

An interrelation between structural features, microhardness and wear resistance was studied in the coatings obtained by non-vacuum relativistic electron beam cladding of chromium and titanium carbides powder mixture on low carbon steel. Five coatings differing in the amount of the entered energy were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), indentation tests and wear resistance measurements. It was found that the concentration of alloying elements both in solid solution and eutectic as well as the volume fraction of eutectic are the main structural characteristics which defines the microhardness of the coatings. The distribution of TiC phase plays a key role in the resistance to wear.

The effect of size and volume fraction of ceramic particles with sliding speed on the wear properties were investigated for metal matrix composites fabricated by a pressureless metal infiltration process. The particulate metal matrix composites exhibited about 5.5 - 6 times greater wear resistance compared with AC8A alloys at high sliding speed, and by increasing the particle size and decreasing the volume fraction the wear resistance improved. The wear resistance of the metal matrix composites and AC8A alloy represented different aspects: the wear loss of the AC8A alloy increased with sliding speed linearly, whereas, the metal matrix composites displayed more wear loss than the AC8A alloy in the slow-speed region. However, a transition point of wear loss was found in the middle-speed region, which shows the minimum wear loss. Furthermore, wear loss in the high-speed region exhibited almost the same value as the slow-speed region. In terms of wear mechanism, the metal matrix composites showed abrasive wear at a slow to high sliding speed generally. However, the AC8A alloy showed abrasive wear at low sliding speed and adhesive and melt wear at a high sliding speed.

The Magnetic Field

In order to systematically study the influence of surfacing current and magnetic field current on hardness and wear resistance of surfacing layer, longitudinal DC magnetic field was applied during plasma arc surfacing Co-based alloy on low-carbon steel. The hardness, wear resistance, microstructure and phase constitution of the surfacing layer were investigated through the tests of hardness, wear, SEM and XRD analysis. The results show that the surfacing current and magnetic field current must be matched properly to achieve the optimal properties of surfacing layer. The optimal values are obtained when the surfacing current is 160A and the magnetic field current is 3A, where the hardness is 43.7 HRC and the wear loss is 0.5493g. The proper electromagnetic stirring induced by electromagnetic field can not only refine the microstructure but also improve the hardness and wear resistance of the surfacing layer.

Abstract Aluminium Composites are presently conquering their massive practice in aerospace, marine, automobile and other industrial applications due to their vital properties such as better strength, light weight etc. The main Purpose the present research is to investigate the role of Al2O3-MoS2 on Al6061 Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs). Composites with varying weight percentages of reinforcements like Al2O3 (3, 6 and 9%) and MoS2 (3, 6 and 9%) manufactured by using stircasting method. The result shows that uniform dispersal of reinforcements with in the matrix. Increasing the wt. % of Al2O3-MoS2 in Al6061 leads to improve in hardness and exhibits the better wear resistance of the composites. SEM analysis reveals the Al6061 alloy shows the deepest and widest wear tracks and whereas in hybrid composite (Al6061/Al2O3/MoS2), width and depth of wear tracks are considerably smaller which leads to improve the wear resistance

Enhancing the oxidation resistance along with sufficiently improved mechanical properties of low carbon steel has always been a challenging task for surfacing industry. Modern automobile industry is looking for joining the dissimilar ferrous and non-ferrous metals to reduce the weight of the overall structure and not compromising the strength of the fabrications. This paper deals with the deposition of iron-aluminium intermetallic over a low carbon substrate using gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. Oxidation resistance of the iron and aluminium metal powders deposits in varying ratios and few mechanical and metallurgical properties such as microhardness, microstructure and wear resistance were investigated and are reported in the present paper.

The in situ synthesized ZrC particulate reinforced metal matrix composite coating was fabricated on AISI1020 steel by gas tungsten arc (GTA) cladding powder mixture of Nickel, Zirconium and Graphite. The microstructure and wear resistance of the composite coating were investigated. It is shown that the coating is bonded metallurgically to the substrate and has a homogeneous fine microstructure containing both approximate cubic ZrC particle uniformly dispersed in matrix of (Fe,Ni) solid solution. Compared to a substruate, the hardness of the composite coating was increased by a factor of 6, could achieve a Vicker microhardness of HV0.21100. And the wear resistance in a block on ring test against YG8 was increased by a factor of 10. This is attributed to the presence of in situ synthesized ZrC particles and their well distribution in the coating.
