Study on titanium carbide particles reinforced high manganese steel composite

High manganese matrix composite, reinforced by TiC particles, was synthesized in situ by means of conventional powder metallurgy route. The microstructure was investigated by means of Scanning electron microscopy. Pin-on-disc dry sliding wear tests had been carried out to study the wear behavior of TiC-reinforced high manganese steel matrix composites. The results show that TiC carbides are distributed uniformly in the composite. The abrasive wear resistance of the composites is higher than that of the unreinforced high manganese steel.
