A kind of centrifugal casting plus in situ techniques of fabricating iron-based composite coating reinforced by tungsten carbide (WC) particles was developed. The experimental results show that the reinforcing particles were generated by reaction between dissolved tungten wires and carbon from gray cast iron molten. The composite coating mainly consists of primary WC carbides, some fine secondly WC carbides as the reinforcing phase and pearlite accompanied by negligible graphite flakes as the matrix. Compared with the unreinforced gray cast iron, the in situ synthesized WC particles can enhance the ultimate tensile strength and decrease elongation rate of the composite coating. Fracture morphology reveals that fracture mode of composite coating is brittle and ductile mixed fractures, the fracture mechanism of the composite is not only related with the introduction of reinforcement but also with the reduction of graphite flakes in the matrix

An iron based composite coating reinforced by (Fe,Cr)7C3particles, with a thickness of 4.0 mm, was fabricated on the ductile cast iron substrate by means of a centrifugal casting and in situ techniques. The microstructure and properties of the composite coatings were investigated by optical microscope, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron micrograph, energy dispersive spectrum, microhardness tester and pin-on-disc wear tester. Results show that the composite coatings consists of primary (Fe,Cr)7C3carbides as the reinforcing phase and interdendritic (Fe,Cr)7C3/γ eutectics accompanied by negligible graphite nodules as the matrix. The reinforcements are metallurgical bonded to the ductile cast iron substrate. Compared with unreinforced ductile cast iron, the composite coatings offer virtually a unique wear resistant behaviour under the condition of dry sliding with loads.

Aluminium-based TiB2reinforced composite is a promising material to be used as brake drum material, and it may emerge as substitute for conventional gray cast iron. Aluminium-based composites containing 2% by wt copper reinforced with 2.5 and 5 wt% TiB2composites were made in induction furnace by in situ synthesis process using simultaneous addition of halide fluxes (K2TiF6and KBF4). These cast composites were evaluated for microstructures, hardness, flow curve properties, and tensile properties. It was observed that overall wear behavior gave reasonably good correlation with mechanical properties of composites as compared to gray cast iron.

Fe-2.5C-1.5Si gray cast iron evaluated in previous works exhibited promising potential as semisolid raw material presenting low levels of maximum stress and viscosity, similar to Al-Si alloys. This work is intended to investigate phase transformations and liquid phase formation for the Fe-2.5C-1.5Si gray cast iron in order to understand the performance of the alloy during the semisolid processing. Thus in situ heating experiments via high temperature laser scanning confocal microscopy were performed to analyze the solid-to-liquid transition. At room temperature alloy presented a matrix of pearlite and ferrite with type D flake graphite. During the heating process the main transformations observed were graphite precipitation on the austenite grain boundaries, graphite precipitates and flakes graphite growing and coarsening with the increasing of temperature and the beginning of melt around 1140°C. Coarsened flakes at high temperatures resulted in a liquid continuous network after melting, thereby the liquid phase was formed surrounding and wetting homogeneously the solid phase. This favors the detachment of grains from each other and leads to the intended solid globules immersed in liquid.
