Abstract
The AISI316L stainless steel composites reinforced with 2, 4, 6, and 8 vol% titanium diboride (TiB2) particles were sintered by the high pressure-high temperature method. Ball-on-disk method was carried out to study wear behavior of the composites. Tests were carried out at room temperature. The TiB2 particles improved the hardness and tribological properties of the composites. The friction coefficient of the composites decreased with the increasing content of TiB2. The reduction of the wear rate with the increasing of the content of TiB2 particles in the steel matrix was also observed. It is demonstrated that the friction coefficient of composites with the same content of TiB2 particles depend on the sintering conditions.
