Abstract


This study is concern with the tribological behavior of 410L SS - SiCp composites reinforced with SiC particles functionalized by Ti-Ni coating layers. The 410L SS composites were produced by hot-pressing technique. For comparison purposes the 410L SS alloy and the uncoated SiCp reinforced composite - 410L SS/SiC, were also tested. A reciprocating ball-on-plate tribometer was used to evaluate the tribological behavior. The produced materials were tested against a steel ball. The worn surfaces were analyzed through SEM/EDS. The results indicated that the combination of PVD and electrocoating is a feasible process for reactivity control between the reinforcement and matrix. The results show that using a titanium-nickel coating is helpful in improving the wear resistance of 410L SS composites.
