Abstract
Pin-on-disc dry sliding wear tests have been carried out to study the wear behaviour of 10 vol% TiC and (Ti,W)C-reinforced Fe–17Mn austenitic steel matrix composites. The composites have been synthesized in situ by means of conventional melting and casting route. It has been observed that the abrasive wear resistance of the composites is higher than that of their unreinforced Fe–17Mn austenitic steel. Compared with the TiC-reinforced composite, the abrasive wear resistance of the (Ti,W)C-reinforced composite is better. The abrasive wear resistance and coefficient of friction of both reinforced and unreinforced materials decrease as the load increases.
