Effects of high temperature wear and corrosion behaviour of sintered titanium reinforced with vanadium particle

Abstract

The present investigation deals the high temperature wear and corrosion behavior of sintered Titanium (Ti) reinforced with vanadium (V) particles with various wt. % such as 3, 6 and 9. The surface morphology followed to that elemental confirmation of the sintered composites were identified using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) embedded with Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The high temperature wear behavior of the sintered composites was evaluated using pin on disc apparatus with varying the operating temperature (50°, 100° and 150°C). By using TAFEL exploration the corrosion behavior of the composites were assessed. The results revealed that Ti reinforced with 6 % of V possessed better wear resistant and corrosion resistance properties. Furthermore, the surface morphological changes of wear and corrosion behavior after experimentation were viewed using SEM.
