7075 matrix alloy was fabricated by in-situ reaction liquidus curve casting method, and its as-cast microstructure was analyzed, the wear properties of these composites and matrix alloy were studied under the different conditions. The results show that the wear resistance of TiC/7075 composites is superior to 7075 matrix alloy in the same conditions (with same load or rotating velocity). Because of introduction of particle reinforcements, the wear resistance of the composite is enhanced by 1.5~4 times than that of its matrix. In addition, the wear mass loss of TiC/7075 composites increases almost with increase of load, but decreases with increase of rotating velocity. The wear resistance of the composites increases slightly at low load and high rotating velocity. The SEM analysis of the worn-out surface indicates that the wear mechanism of TiC/7075 composites is mainly abrasive wear.

The purpose of this article is to enhance the mechanical properties and wear resistance of the RZ5 alloy used in the aerospace application by adding TiC particles. The present study discusses processing of in-situ RZ5-TiC composite fabricated by self-propagating high temperature (S.H.S.) method and its wear behavior. The effects of TiC particle on mechanical and microstructural properties of the composite are studied. The wear test is performed by varying the sliding distance and applied load. The composite is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results exhibited the properties like strength and hardness of RZ5-10wt%TiC composite has been increased considerably, while grain size is decreased as compared to the RZ5 alloy. The fractography indicated mixed mode (quasi-cleavage and ductile feature) failure of the composites. The wear results showed improvement in wear resistance of the composite. The FESEM showed dominate wear mechanisms are abrasion, ploughing grooves.

Cr3C2-Ni cermet is a kind of promising material especially for wear applications due to its excellent wear resistance. However, researches were mainly concentrated on the experiment condition of room temperature, besides high-temperature wear mechanism of the cermet would be utilized much potential applications and also lack of consideration. In present paper, the influence of Mo content on the high-temperature wear behavior of in-situ Cr3C2-20 wt. % Ni cermet was investigated systematically. The friction-wear experiment was carried out range from room temperature to 800 °C, while Al2O3 ceramic was set as the counterpart. According to experimental results, it is indicated that the coefficient of friction (COF) of friction pairs risen at the beginning of friction stage and then declined to constant, while the wear rate of Cr3C2-20 wt. % Ni cermet risen continuously along with temperature increased, which attributes to the converted wear mechanism generally from typical abrasive wear to severe oxidation and adhesive wear. Generally, the result of wear resistance was enhanced for 13.4% (at 400 °C) and 31.5% (at 800 °C) by adding 1 wt. % Mo. The in-situ newly formed (Cr, Mo)7C3 ceramic particle and the lubrication phase of MoO3 can effectively improve the wear resistance of Cr3C2-20 wt. % Ni cermet.

The effect of alloying elements on the corrosion wear behaviors of low chromium cast iron in slurry with different ions was studied by self-made three-body corrosion wear tester. The results show that the corrosion wear resistance of low chromium cast iron was decreased with the increase of concentration of Cu2+ ion or SO42- ion in slurry. The corrosion wear mechanism of low chromium cast iron was dominated by micro-cutting of abrasive, accompanying by corrosion action. The addition of alloying elements did not improve the corrosion wear properties of low chromium cast iron obviously, because the amount of carbide and its hardness was decreased when the alloying elements were added into low chromium cast iron as well as the amount of silicon element was increased.

The wear behaviours of alumina strengthen 3Y-TZP ceramics worn against high chromium cast iron under various testing conditions were investigated using a block-on-block tribometer. The results showed that the wear rate increases with the increasing of the load and the sliding time. Under the low load the main mechanism governing the wear properties of ceramic is the apparent plastic deformation and ploughing, and the wear rate rapidly increases and the wear mechanism changes into brittle fracture under high load. Meanwhile the wear resistance is depended on the properties of the abrasive particle. As expected, the wear resistance was increased with decreasing hardness of abrasive particle, but it was also influenced by the morphology, that is, the sharper the abrasive particle the higher wear rate.

Having Low density and being Light weight with better mechanical properties, aluminum is the most significant material and is universally used in highly critical applications like navy, aerospace and particularly automotive activities. This research work is aimed to investigate the effect of micro and nano boron Al2O3 (Alumina Oxide) to aluminium (Al) on the mechanical and wear properties of the Al composites. The micro - nano composites with 1, 2, 3 and 4 % of Al2O3 particulates in Al are fabricated using stircasting processes. It was found that an increase of Al2O3 both as micro and nano particulates content resulted in an improved hardness, enhanced tensile strength and high wear resistance. However, nano Al2O3 reinforced MMCs have better hardness, improved tensile strength and higher wear resistance as compared with micro sized Al2O3 reinforced MMCs. Grain refinement of composite and nano composite materials as compared with pure Al were observed from the microscopic images. Analysis of wornout surface and tensile fracture surface were studied by SEM analysis to examine the nature of wear and tensile fracture mode of composite samples.

In-situ production of (Fe,Cr)7C3 particulate bundles-reinforced iron matrix composites were prepared by infiltration casting between Cr wires and white cast iron at 1200°C plus subsequent heat treatment. The composites prepared under different heat treatment time were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), macrohardness test and pin-on-disc wear resistance test. The results show that the composite is mainly consist of (Fe,Cr)7C3 carbides and γ-Fe. The area of the particulate bundles gradually increases with the increase of heat treatment time, the microstructure evolved from eutectic to hypoeutectic, and the morphologies of the reinforcements present chrysanthemum-shaped, granular and intercrystalline eutectics, respectively. The (Fe,Cr)7C3 particulate bundles reinforced composite has high macrohardness and excellent wear resistance under dry sliding wear testing conditons.

The in situ TiC/Al-Cu nanocomposites were fabricated in the Al-Ti-C reaction systems with various carbon sources by the combined method of combustion synthesis, hot pressing, and hot extrusion. The carbon sources used in this paper were the pure C black, hybrid carbon source (50 wt.% C black + 50 wt.% CNTs) and pure CNTs. The average sizes of nano-TiC particles range from 67 nm to 239 nm. The TiC/Al-Cu nanocomposites fabricated by the hybrid carbon source showed more homogenously distributed nano-TiC particles, higher tensile strength and hardness, and better abrasive wear resistance than those of the nanocomposites fabricated by pure C black and pure CNTs. As the nano-TiC particles content increased, the tensile strength, hardness, and the abrasive wear resistance of the nanocomposites increased. The 30 vol.% TiC/Al-Cu nanocomposite fabricated by the hybrid carbon source showed the highest yield strength (531 MPa), tensile strength (656 MPa), hardness (331.2 HV), and the best abrasive wear resistance.
