Wear and Friction Characteristics of In Situ TiC-Reinforced Ti<sub>3</sub>SiC<sub>2</sub>-Ti<sub>5</sub>Si<sub>3</sub> Composites Against 100Cr6 Steel Counterpart

In this study, the dry sliding characteristics of a Ti<sub>3</sub>SiC<sub>2</sub>/Ti<sub>5</sub>Si<sub>3</sub> matrix reinforced with different TiC contents against a 100Cr6 steel ball were investigated. The composites were fabricated using the spark p...

description In this study, the dry sliding characteristics of a Ti<sub>3</sub>SiC<sub>2</sub>/Ti<sub>5</sub>Si<sub>3</sub> matrix reinforced with different TiC contents against a 100Cr6 steel ball were investigated. The composites were fabricated using the spark plasma sintering method with Ti, SiC, and C powders. SEM revealed that the composites possessed damage tolerance behavior, where grain pull-out, buckling, delamination, and diffuse microcracking were observed. In comparison, the unreinforced composite showed severe adhesive wear and tribo-oxidative wear mechanisms. The integration of the TiC phase in the Ti<sub>3</sub>SiC<sub>2</sub>/Ti<sub>5</sub>Si<sub>3</sub> matrix enhanced the wear resistance by at least one order of magnitude. A new wear regime was observed in the TiC-reinforced composites, classified as mild wear, where tribo-oxidation and third-body abrasion were dominant, with ferrous deposits on the sliding surfaces.
