FeCuCo alloys are the new generation of metal matrix for diamonds in PM processed cutting tools. These alloys were created with the purpose of reducing the cobalt content in diamond tools. Nevertheless, little have been published, once this is a matter of industrial interest. In this work, samples of Fe (10-20) wt. %Cu and Fe (10-20) wt. %Cu 1%wt SiCp alloys were processed by cold pressing at 350 MPa, followed by sintering at 1150 C/30 min. under argon atmosphere. After sintering, a study of structural and microstructural analyses was conducted. Brinell hardness and wear tests were carried out in the metal matrix, as well as the wear resistance of the metal matrix composites. The composition Fe-20%wt Cu-1%wt SiCp was the best among the studied ones, because it presented the best results of hardness and wear resistance.

Cu–Co–based alloys are the new generation of metal matrix for diamonds by powder metallurgy processed cutting tools. These alloys are created with the purpose of reducing the cobalt content in diamond tools. Cu-Co-based alloys matrix were fabricated using a hot pressing process at the temperature of 710°C , 750°С and 790°С by 15 MPa. Structures formed during sintering were studied by XRD and WDS. Micro-structural aspects were observed by EPMA. Densification, hardness, yield strength and compressive yield strength were performed. The results showed as follows: Cu-Co-based alloy matrix is composed by gray pre-alloyed particles, Cu-Sn binary solid solution, copper-rich phase and interface between particles and matrix; The higher sintering temperature, the more dendrite phase, in addition, the diffusion of carbon occurs; the holding force from matrix to particles becomes larger and the distribution of particles becomes more uniform; As the sintering temperature increased, the mechanical properties of Cu-Co-based alloy matrix enhanced.

Cu-Si-B alloys are a new generation of metal matrix for producing composites incorporated with diamonds for cutting tools. These alloys have been developed as a special matrix in order to improve the thermal properties of the diamond composites used in machining tool bits. Despite the industrial interest, not much has been reported on this type of composite matrix. In this work, samples of Cu-Si-B alloys were processed at high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) sintering conditions. The microstructure changes that occurred were evaluated. Microstructural aspects were observed by SEM. Compounds formed during sintering were studied by EDS. Wear tests were performed in sintered diamond particle incorporated composites. The results revealed significant advantages of Cu-Si-B alloy as matrix for these composites.

The work presents the possibility of fabricating materials for use as a matrix in sintered metallic-diamond tools with increased mechanical properties and abrasion wear resistance. In this study, the effect of micro-sized SiC, Al2O3, and ZrO2 additives on the wear behaviour of dispersion-strengthened metal-matrix composites was investigated. The development of metal-matrix composites (based on Fe–Mn–Cu–Sn–C) reinforced with micro-sized particles is a new approach to the substitution of critical raw materials commonly used for the matrix in sintered diamond-impregnated tools used for the machining of abrasive stone and concrete. The composites were prepared using spark plasma sintering (SPS). Apparent density, microstructural features, phase composition, Young’s modulus, hardness, and abrasion wear resistance were determined. An increase in the hardness and wear resistance of the dispersion-strengthened composites as compared to the base material (Fe–Mn–Cu–Sn–C) and the commercial alloy Co-20% WC provides metallic-diamond tools with high-performance properties.

Metal matrix composites were prepared by hot pressing (HP) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) techniques. Ball-milled ironbase powders were consolidated to near full density by these methods at 900°C. The physical and mechanical properties of the resulting composites were investigated. The specimens were tested for resistance to both 3-body and 2-body abrasion. The composites obtained by HP method (at 900°C/35 MPa) had higher density, hardness and resistance to abrasion than those obtained by SPS method.

Metal- matrix composites layers were prepared by laser cladding with Ni-based Super-alloy onto CrMo cast iron. Applying uniform experiment design, under conditions of different velocity and load ,the wear tests of alloy layers were carried out and the stepwise regression method are used to establish the wear rate model for prediction of wear rate. It is proved that the modal is significant and represents the character of the wear trend. According to the wear rate model ,the wear characteristics are analysed and the wear mechanisms are identified. The main wear mechanism of laser cladding layer are delamination, adhesive wear and abrasive wear.

Aluminum based metal matrix composites (AMMC) have found its applications in the automobile, aerospace, medical, and metal industries due to their superior mechanical properties. Fabricated Aluminum based metal matrix composites require machining to improve the surface finish and dimensional tolerance. Machining should be accomplished by good surface finish by consuming lowest energy and less tool wear. This paper reviews the machining of Aluminum based metal matrix composites to investigate the effect of process parameters such as tool geometry, tool wear, surface roughness, chip formation and also process parameters.

Aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMC’s) have been widely used because of their superior properties like high strength to wear ratio, high wear resistance, and higher heat conduction rate. The additions of reinforcements in the form of discontinuous particles lead to an increase in the properties of Metal Matrix Composites (MMC). In this present work, the ALMMC composite was fabricated with the addition of discontinuous reinforcement particles of Zirconium Carbide (ZrC) and Boron Carbide (B4C). The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, and impact strength were tested as per the ASTM standards. The tribological properties were tested using a pin-on-disc setup under different loading conditions (10, 20, 30, 40 N). Moreover, the morphological characterization of ALMMC was carried out by using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis. Furthermore, the Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was accomplished to find the thermal stability of ALMMC. The findings show that the variations of reinforcement of ZrC added had given improved properties like hardness, tensile strength, impact strength and wear resistance.

In this study, initially Al2O3/SiC powder mix was prepared by reacting of aqueous solution of aluminium sulphate, ammonium sulphate and water containing SiC particles at 1200°C. 10 wt% of this hybrid ceramic powder with different sized SiC particles was added to a liquid Al matrix alloy during mechanical stirring between solidus and liqudus under inert conditions. Then hybrid Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) was produced. The effect of reinforced particle size on tensile strength, bending strength, hardness resistance and wear resistance properties of hybrid reinforced MMCs were investigated. The mechanical test results revealed that bending, tensile strength and hardness resistance of the composites increased with decrease in ductility, with decrease size of the reinforcing SiC particulates in the aluminium alloy metal matrix. The wear behaviour of the hybrid ceramic reinforced aluminium matrix composites was investigated using pin-on-disc test at room temperature under dry conditions. Wear tests showed that the wear resistance of MMCs increased with increasing reinforced Al2O3/SiC particle size. Comparing the fine particle size MMCs with the coarse particle size MMCs were easily pulled out whole from the matrix. Microstructural examination showed that as well as coarse SiC particle reinforcement, a fine alumina particle reinforcement phase was observed within the aluminium matrix (A332).
