Microstructure, Mechanical and Wear Properties Study of Vanadium Carbide Particles Reinforced Iron Matrix Composite

Abstract:

This study dealt with the processing, microstructure and wear behavior of vanadium carbide reinforced iron matrix composite. Powder technology combined with in situ synthesis was used to successfully fabricate the composite. The microstructure of the composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The microstructural study reveals that the round VC particles are distributed uniformly in the iron matrix, the interface between the iron matrix and VC is clean, and no interface precipitates is found. Dry-sliding wear behavior of VC-Fe composite was tested using MM-200 wear testing machine. The results indicate that the composite has excellent wear resistance, and microploughing and grooving are the dominant wear mechanisms for the composite. Hardness and bend strength of the composite are 62HRC and 990.1MPa, respectively.
