Abstract
Carbide reinforced steel composites are useful in extensive wear resistance applications. Titanium carbide reinforced steel composites have been prepared by dissolving a TiC rich Fe–TiC master alloy in a liquid steel. The composites have been characterised by optical microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray scanning electron microscope analysis, image analysis, and X-ray diffraction studies. Tensile strength measurements showed that the ultimate tensile strengths varied between 790 and 880 MPa for composites containing 0·7–0·34 wt-%Ti. Some composites show better wear resistance properties in comparison with low alloy steels.
